Causes and Solutions for a Wet Damp Basement

Dealing with a wet basement is a troublesome situation for homeowners. Not only does having a wet basement cause stress on homeowners it also reduces the worth of your property. In order to fix the problem of a wet basement, there are several steps you should consider. It is important to do these things the right way or the problem will continue to exist.

Assessing Your Wet Basement

Find the source of the water

• Check for leaky pipes, hoses and other things connected to water sources.
• Water could be coming from pipes behind the walls (a more serious problem that requires professional help)
• Water could be coming into your home from the outside.
  • Check that water is draining away from your home.  If this is not the case, then you have a serious issue.
  • Most home foundations are made with concrete. Concrete is a porous material and water draining towards your house will erode it

Consider these solutions:

• Leaky Pipe:Have a plumber come and replace the pipes
• Washing Machine:Replace or repair the appliance
• Outside Foundation:Call a waterproofing crew to make sure water drains away from your home

Remediate any damage that has occurred:

• Mop up any water so no mold can form
• Dry or replace any material that is wet when you assess structural damage
