Common Causes Of Basement Leaks

Window Wells

Homeowners generally get window wells installed in their home so that their basement can get ample sunlight but what it does in the process leads to accumulation of water in case there is heavy rain or the drain is not cleaned periodically. This window, well filled with water, leads to the seepage of water in the basement or exerts pressure on the walls for water to go in the basement. 

Hydrostatic Pressure

We know that there is water even deep inside the ground everywhere, albeit at an extremely lower level, which doesn’t affect the construction. But the geographical location and meteorological conditions can affect the height of the water level, especially in nearby lakes or oceans. This builds up a hydrostatic pressure that leaks to basement leakage. 

Improper Grading

It is important to note when your foundation is created that the ground should always slope away from your foundation so that the water does not accumulate. This is what proper grading is. If not done right, this can lead to water pooling around the foundation and into the basement. The slope may also change if the area around the foundation is not periodically cleaned, making water flow towards your house.
