There are many reasons why your basement may flood. Most commonly, basement flooding is caused by water intrusion through the foundation, due to hydrostatic pressure caused by a large influx of water from a weather event or consistent buildup in areas with a high water table. Other causes of flooding can include a sewer backup, pipe failure or sump pump backing up with a failed existing drainage system.
However water is getting into your basement, you will want to address the issue swiftly and permanently. Any excess moisture in a basement can cause a variety of issues in a home, not to mention up to thousands of dollars in damages with serious flooding.
There are a variety of methods to address basement moisture, foundation leaks and standing water, and the best method will depend on your unique basement or foundation issues. If there’s standing water in your basement, an interior french drain solution may be the most efficient solution to redirect water away from the home, or if your moisture- and wetness-causing conditions are more substantial, exterior waterproofing may be required. If you have cracks in your foundation, professionally sealing and reinforcing these wall cracks will prevent further damage and stop leaking. If you have a drainage system set up, but no sump pump, this may be what your basement needs to stay dry. The first step to a permanent solution for your wet basement is to get a professional inspection. From there, basement waterproofing experts can single out the method that will be best for your home.
