Understanding the Causes of Basement Leakage

Clogged Footing Drains

Footing drains, crucial for keeping water away from your foundation, can become clogged over time, leading to water seepage and damage. Regular maintenance and appropriate waterproofing measures are essential to prevent these issues.

Hydrostatic Pressure

When footing drains clog, hydrostatic pressure can build up, pushing water into your basement through cracks in the foundation. Our waterproofing solutions are designed to mitigate this pressure and protect your basement from such damage.

Weather-Related Causes

Hurricanes: The heavy rain and flooding brought by hurricanes can significantly impact your basement’s dryness. Our services include preparation and protection measures for hurricane seasons​​.
Nor’easters: Famous for causing basement flooding, Nor’easters bring heavy rain and flooding, contributing to hydrostatic pressure and soil settlement issues. Our solutions are tailored to withstand such extreme weather conditions​​.

Soil Settlement

Improper soil settlement around your basement can lead to increased water runoff towards the foundation, causing water issues. Effective gutter systems and landscape management are vital to prevent these problems.
