FAQ

Leaky basements will often demonstrate telltale signs. While some signs are more evident, such as puddles of water on the floor, others are harder to detect. The warning signs of a basement leak include:

• Dampness on the floors and walls
• Peeling paint or deformed wallpaper
• Cracks appearing in the floor or walls
• Rust-related damage to metal components in the basement
• Growth of mold or mildew
• White, chalky residue on the walls

Basement leaks have several sources, including:

• Poor craftsmanship:Improper construction of a house may cause leaks.
• Soil grade: The soil grade close to the foundation must be such that it diverts water away from the house. If the grade is tilted toward the foundations, it will cause water to gather toward the basement.
• Rising water table:Underground water tables can rise over time, causing basement flooding.
• Foundation settlement:Foundations settle with time. A shift in foundation makes properties more prone to water-related damage.
• Poor drainage:Landscapes unable to handle excess water runoff due to poor drainage pose a threat to foundations and basements.

Only addressing the affected area is a short-term solution. To achieve lasting results, you must identify the source of the water leaking into your basement. Then, performing proper waterproofing is necessary.

Because mold is a serious health hazard that can lead to many health problems, it must be addressed right away with mold remediation services.
