  2. 1. Gutters & Downspouts: Cause: The purpose of gutters and downspouts is to channel water away from your home during heavy downfall. However, if those gutters or downspouts are missing or not working properly the water instead of going away can be directed towards the foundation. If the water starts accumulating around the foundation the chances are that it can easily seep into the basement causing moisture and other related issues. Solution: Adding gutters in case if there are none Existing gutters should be cleaned regularly so it stays in a working order A minimum of one downspout should be placed under every 50 ft of a roof eave. Extenders should be placed under every downspout to channel water at least 10 feet away from the foundation.

  3. 2. Interior Water leak: Cause: When trying to identify the cause of basement leakage, it is always a good idea to first check leaks inside your home. A water leak can come from many places like a shower, tap, toilet flush, or just a cracked pipe. So in case if you find moisture on your basement ceiling or the walls beneath the bathroom or kitchen sink than it probably is due to an interior leak. Solution: Interior leaks can be easily taken care of. All you need to do is call a professional plumber and repair the leak or get interior waterproofing and that will take care of the leakage and moisture caused in the basement.

  4. 3. Poor drain tile and sump-pump: Cause: A drain tile is provided to collect water around your basement foundation and disperse it away from your home. If your house is not on a slope then the water will be directed to the sub-surface drainage system to channel it away from the foundation. Many older homes were not built with under the floor drainage systems and the modern homes experience problems with working of such systems due to a clogged pipe or a broken sump pump. Solution: Fixing a subsurface drainage system or adding one is indeed a complex task that needs to be handled only by experts with knowledge and tools to redirect water away from the foundation. Basement interior waterproofing involves the installation of an interior drainage channel that runs along the inner boundary of your basement wall. Through this channel, the water that is entering the basement is drained out with the help of a sump pump and dispersed away from your home. A dehumidifier is then used to control the humidity of the basement and prevent molds and dust mites.
