3 Common Causes of Basement Leaks

A basement leak can cause many problems to your property and health as well. Fixing a leaking cellar can also cost you a lot of money. That said, it would be best for you to ensure that water could never find its way to your ground floor in the first place. To do this, you should first fix the things that could cause basement seepage. Here are some of them:
 
  • Cracks in Foundation Walls and Basement Floor
One of the top causes of leaky basements are cracks in your foundation wall or concrete floor. They typically form due to many reasons, such as water pressure, settlement, lack of moisture in the soil, poor grading, and temperature changes.
 
  • Lateral and Hydrostatic Pressure
Hydrostatic pressure occurs when water manages to seep into the ground around your foundation and build up. As the pressure increases, water gets into your basement through cracks, wall joints, and porous concrete.
 
Meanwhile, lateral pressure occurs when the soil around your foundation absorbs too much water and expands. It can create vertical, horizontal, and diagonal cracks on your foundation walls, making an opening for water to seep into your basement.
 
  • Poor Window Well Installation
If your basement window wells aren’t sealed and installed properly, water can easily get into your basement. Also, if your window wells don’t have covers, dirt and other debris can accumulate inside them, causing your drain to become clogged. If this happens, water will attempt to enter your basement instead of flowing away from your property.
