Basement Leaks

The best solution to basement leaks is prevention. That is why a strategy of waterproofing makes so much sense in order to prevent such a disaster. Foundation drainage systems, which are installed properly, can serve a dual role. Foundation drain tile systems are the means by which groundwater can be transported away from your basement, preventing leaks.

If you want a dry basement and a sound foundation, you must have an adequate foundation drainage system. The water content in the soil surrounding your house can fluctuate seasonally. There is always a point at which you can dig and hit water. Geologists often refer to this as the water table. This water table rises and falls in response to the amount of precipitation in any given time period.

The water table in many parts of the country can rise to within a few feet of the surface during wet spells. Water will take the path of least resistance. If there is no exterior waterproofing water can go sideways through a crack in your foundation, or it can go down alongside your foundation into a pipe.

Waterproofing your basement keeps it dry and gives you the peace of mind of knowing you will never have to worry about a wet basement again. Each basement’s moisture problems are different and you will need to know the best way to keep your basement dry.
