Why Is There Water in My Basement?
If you have a finished basement, any amount of water can lead to thousands of dollars worth of damage. Even if your basement is unfinished, water can cause significant damage to your home while threatening the health of those that live there. The smallest amount of water entering your basement or crawlspace encapsulation from the outside should be cause for concern. More than 60% of all homes in the US with a basement have existing moisture problems. In fact, your chances of experiencing a basement flood are more than five times more likely than a house fire.

- Poor Drainage – Water enters your home, mainly around the foundation. One of the best ways to prevent that is with high-quality gutters that divert the water away from your home.
- Foundation Cracks – Water travels the path of least resistance. If your home’s foundation is concrete, mortar, or fieldstone, which make up most home basements, it provides easy access for water between the cracks.
- Hydro Static Pressure – Hydrostatic pressure is the phenomenon in which water beneath your home’s foundation rises due to gravity through the cracks in your foundation’s floor.
Signs I need Basement Waterproofing Services?
Understanding how water can enter your home is essential. However, identifying the warning signs that water has entered your home is crucial. Acting quickly and appropriately to water in your basements is the most effective and affordable way to prevent significant damage and total loss of your personal belongings. While a professional may be able to more specifically pinpoint where the water is entering your home, keeping an eye out for the following warning signs should be your indication to contact a professional.
- Water Stains – Water stains on the floor or wall are another sign that water has entered your home. In some cases, it may be caused by burst plumbing. However, if you suspect it’s caused by outdoor water, you should contact us. Water stains look like slight discoloration of the area and can be wet or dry.
- Damp Odor – We all know the distinct odor of a musty basement. Despite it being a common occurrence, it’s a sign that your basement has excessive moisture. A dehumidifier is one of the best ways to deal with basement moisture.
