Why Do Basements Get Wet?
Basements can become wet due to a variety of factors.
- Poor Drainage Around the Foundation: Poor drainage around the perimeter of the house can cause water to seep into the basement.
- Cracks in the Foundation: Even small cracks can allow water to enter over the years, especially during heavy rainfall.
- Elevated Groundwater Levels: When your home is built on a ground with a high water table, water pressure can cause moisture to seep into your basement.
- Badly Pitched Gutters and Downspouts: If gutters and downspouts aren’t diverting water far enough from your home, it can pool at the base of the foundation.

Basement Waterproofing:
This is the application of several techniques and materials to waterproof the basement so it remains dry and does not get damaged by mold or other structural problems. -
Foundation Repair:
This refers to the process of correcting and restoring a deteriorated foundation such as cracks, settling, or shifting, to maintain the structural integrity of a building. -
Crawlspace Encapsulation and Repair:
Sealing up a crawlspace to prevent moisture infiltration and improve air quality. This may include mitigating existing damage and eventually installing a vapor barrier to keep humidity and pests out. -
Sump Installation:
Buildings with basements or crawlspaces are prone to water accumulating in the hole. A sump pump helps to avoid flooding and costly water damage. It is typically installed in areas with heavy rainfall or groundwater. -
Dehumidification:
A reduction of water vapor in the air, particularly in a basement or crawlspace, to prevent mold growth and increase occupant comfort. This is often done with a dehumidifier.

FAQs on Basement Waterproofing
It is wise to waterproof your basement once every 10 years or so or sooner if you observe water leaking or damage to the area.
Completing a waterproof basement entails sealing it, insulating it, adding drywall, flooring, and other finishes, and allowing for adequate ventilation throughout.
Yes, interior basement waterproofing might (but not necessarily) keep moisture out of the space, but it often doesn’t help keep water out of the wall itself.
Look for damp walls or water puddling on walls or floors. If the basement doesn’t get wet during heavy rain or after spring snowmelt, it’s probably waterproof.
