Protect your home with Rod Hole Pros professional basement waterproofing services in Canton MI

Rod holes are small circular openings left in poured concrete foundations after the steel rods used during construction are removed. Over time, the seals in these holes can fail and allow water to leak into basements in homes throughout Canton.

Many homes in Canton have poured concrete foundations. When heavy rain saturates the soil, groundwater pressure can push water toward basement walls. If rod hole seals deteriorate, water can enter through these small openings.

Common signs of a leaking rod hole include:

• Water dripping from a small round hole in the wall
• Damp spots or mineral stains on basement concrete
• Leaks that appear during heavy rain
• Musty odors or moisture in the basement

If you notice these issues, it may indicate a rod hole leak that needs repair.

Rod hole repair typically involves cleaning the opening, injecting waterproof sealing material, and installing hydraulic cement to create a permanent watertight seal. This stops groundwater from entering the basement through the hole.
