Leaky Basements
Leaky basements are one of the most
common problems homeowners face. Not only does water
threaten to damage your furniture and equipment, it also
threatens the strength of your foundation system.
You likely know all the basic tricks: waterproofing
sealants, sump pumps, new drains. Basement problems are not
always easy to fix and require a good contractor.

How Bad Is Your Problem
1. Slightly damp walls, discoloration, and mildew?
2. Excessive dampness in walls, hairline cracks, spots?
3. Water ponding or puddling in your basement?
4. Visible structural damage, bowed or shifting walls, silt
penetrating your walls?
If you address your problem sooner rather than later, you
can often significantly reduce the cost of the required repair.

What Is Causing My Basement To Leak?
1. Poor grading around the foundation of your home which causes stormwater
to drain towards your home instead of away from your home.
2. A high water table. This can also lead to hydrostatic pressure (water
being forced against the foundation or floor slab of your home).
3. Poor drainage systems (gutters, basement stairwells, clogged drains).
4. Foundation settlement cause cracks in basement walls and provide easier
access for water to intrude.
