Spotting A Drainage Problem Early
As a responsible homeowner in Baltimore, MD, you can stay aware of early signs around the house that signal poor drainage and a future flood. Keep an eye out for:
- Standing water in your yard
- Water collecting in your driveway
- Roof water runoff
- Excess water from neighbor’s property
- Major soil erosion problems
How Water Gets Into Your Basement
Any of these red flags is a good reason to call Budget Basement Waterproofing. Our professionals will be able to pinpoint the precise source of water invasion, in order to recommend and install the best protection. For example, we’ll use different methods to handle each of the most common leakage problems we encounter, such as:
- Poorly sealed basement windows that allow rainwater, sprinkler runoff, and humid air to enter the basement
- Deep cracks in wet basement walls that allow water to seep into the basement when it rains
- Gutter downspouts that do not effectively channel water away from the foundation, saturating the ground around the house when it rains and increasing flood risk
- A plumbing leak, clogged drainage pipe, or sewage backup leading to standing water accumulation, even in a well-protected basement
Whatever the case, if water doesn’t drain from your property at a normal rate, it’s time to call Budget Basement Waterproofing. Don’t wait until the water starts seeping in through cracks in the foundation or pooling in your basement; get the problem assessed as soon as possible to prevent any further trouble after the next big rainstorm.
How to Handle a Flooded Basement
The moment you see standing water on the floor or running down the walls, your safety is at risk. Do not touch the water; instead, turn off the electricity to the wet basement to avoid electrocution. It’s also a good idea to shut off your home’s water main in case the flooding is coming from a burst pipe or some other plumbing and drainage issue you can’t see. Don’t use the taps, drains, toilets, or washing machine.
Once you’ve performed these basic safety measures, call Budget Basement Waterproofing to evaluate the damage and begin the cleanup process. To correct the situation, our services may include leak or basement sump pump installation, advanced drainage system installation for basements, or dehumidifier use to keep your basement dry and free from future water problems.
