How to Keep Your Basement or Crawl Space Dry
Toledo Basement Repair does not want you to find yourself and your home unprepared when heavy rains occur. A leaky basement or crawlspace is not only a nuisance, but it can also be dangerous. From foundation damage to mold to ruined personal property, unwanted water can be a disaster. We want to help to keep your basement and crawl space dry!
THE CAUSE
It’s important to know where the water is coming from before you begin to tackle how to prevent it. Water sneakily works its way into your home. Basements and crawlspaces are prime targets for water to attack. Having a waterproof crawl space or dry basement can only happen after you identify the source of the moisture. Start checking these common culprits:
Incorrect Drainage or Soil – If rainfall or groundwater are unable to flow away from your home, they can seep into your crawlspace or basement. Not having a proper drainage system or soil causes water accumulation, ready to ease its way past your foundation.
Incorrect Gutter Installation – Gutters play an integral role in keeping water away from your home. Improper installation or frequent clogs will cause drainage around the base of your home instead of drawing it away from the foundation.
Slope – Sloping the ground away from your foundation is crucial to allow water to run away from your home. Having the wrong slope will prevent this, keeping water close.
Hydrostatic Pressure – Gravity can also be your enemy when it comes to keeping unwelcomed water out of your home. When it pushes on the water, the water will go wherever it can to getaway. Such actions force the liquid through cracks in your basement or crawlspace, and can also cause new cracks.
Cracks – Having floor, wall, or window cracks are an open invitation for moisture to enter your home and cause damage.
Condensation – Mold and mildew run rampant in a space filled with condensation. Basements and crawlspaces frequently experience condensation.
