Is you House or Basement Experiencing Water Intrusion? Here's Some Things To Know.

This basement was experiencing water intrusion, likely due to heavy rain. Water entering at a specific corner could indicate a few possible issues, such as:

• Foundation cracks: Water could be seeping through cracks in the foundation.
• Poor grading: If the ground outside slopes toward the house, water may pool at the foundation and seep in.
• Clogged or inadequate drainage systems: The gutters, downspouts, or drains might not be redirecting water far enough from the house.
• Hydrostatic pressure: Excess groundwater due to the rain could be pushing water into the basement through weak points in the walls or floor.

Some potential solutions might include:

• Foundation repair: Sealing cracks or injecting epoxy to prevent future leaks.
• Improving drainage: Regrading the yard, extending downspouts, or installing a French drain to direct water away from the house.
• Interior solutions: Installing a sump pump, waterproofing the walls, or adding a drainage system around the basement perimeter.
