A leaky basement can cause a lot of damage to your basement. If you have a leaky basement, it may cause a loss of living space, damage to your personal possessions, and it may promote the growth of mold and mildew. When mold and mildew get into the air that you breathe, it can cause you and your family health issues.
There are several ways that water can leak into your basement. Some of these are:
Basement windows
Cracks and holes in the framing can cause water to leak into your basement.
Cracks in basement wall
Water will find its way through any small crack in the basement wall.
Cracks in basement floor
This can cause groundwater to seep through the cracks.
Foundation cracks
Water will leak into your basement through foundation cracks.
Downspouts
If your downspout is not emptying far enough from the home, water will collect around the foundation.
It is important to check your basement for leaks. Also, there are several other signs that you may have a leaky basement. Some of these are:
- Musty odors
- Condensation on pipes
- Insect infestation
- Rusty appliances
- High humidity throughout your home
