BASEMENT LEAKS
Moisture
Moisture is the most common problem in basements – either entering from outside sources or being produced inside by the occupant’s activities.
Water can also be pulled up by a “wicking action” or pushed up” by hydrostatic pressure from the soil under the walls or floor. In the summer, warm moist air from outside can enter the house and lead to condensation on the cool basement walls or floors.
The Soil
The soil around the walls can contain a large amount of moisture from surface water that is seeping down or from a high water table. Water can find its way inside by gravity or through a crack or flaw in the water protection layer of the foundation.
Causes of Basement Leaks
- A leak in your home’s foundation, basement walls, window or door
- Standing water
- Poor lot drainage
- Failure of the weeping tile system (foundation drains)
- Overflowing eaves troughs (gutters)
- Leaking/plugged downspouts

- A back-up of wastewater in the sewer system
- Failure of a sump pump (in some areas) used
