Why is Water Entering my Basement?
Water entering your basement can be a major problem and source of frustration. This is something that you’ll want to address right away, as it can lead to long-term damage if left unsolved. Common causes of water entering your basement include poor grading outside of your foundation, foundation cracks, faulty plumbing or sewer lines, heavy rains and clogged gutters. It’s important to assess all of these elements before attempting a repair.
Once the cause of the water entry has been determined, it will be easier to decide what repairs need to be made in order to keep your basement dry in the future. These repairs could vary from pouring concrete around the outside of your home to installing pumps or drainage systems in order to divert water away from your foundation. Your best bet is to have a professional come out and provide an assessment so you can quickly identify the cause and get on with fixing it!
Plumbing Leaks
If you find yourself stepping over a small puddle in your basement, your floor or sink drain might be backed up! Unfortunately, this is a common issue that can lead to extensive damage if ignored. Most plumbing leaks can easily be fixed with the help of a reliable plumber. However, regular maintenance and cleaning of drains is key to keeping any potential problems at bay. Inspect your floor and sink drains often to ensure they are not clogged and prevent long-term leakage problems. If you suspect that serious damage may have been done to your foundation as a result of a leak, then you should contact a professional to assess the damage. Taking care of these issues early on will save you time and money in the end!
Poor Drainage
Improperly drained rainwater can lead to disaster if left unchecked. Clogged downspouts and damaged gutters can quickly become an issue, as they prevent rainwater from being redirected away from the house. If not remedied soon enough, your basement may begin to show signs of moisture and water damage with issues such as mold growth becoming increasingly common in damp areas like these. In order to protect your home, good drainage is absolutely essential!
Poor Building Site Prep
Poor building site prep can have long lasting consequences that are costly to remedy. When soil is not suitably compacted, it can cause unexpected movement of the underlying soil which may result in serious damages to the structure above. Not only will this cause a headache trying to identify and fix water leaks, but it can cost you dearly as moisture that enters your basement overtime can damage your walls and flooring beyond repair.
Foundation Wall Cracks
Foundation wall cracks can threaten your foundation’s wellbeing and lead to serious issues such as moisture intrusion, sinkholes and insect infestation. Cracks of any degree create pathways for water entry which is easily one of the most frequent causes of foundation repairs. If you spot signs of cracking, get a professional evaluation right away so that you can minimize damage and keep your foundations healthy and happy!
