Why Causes Wet Basements, Damp Basements and Leaky Basement Problems?
Over the years we have come across many wet, leaky and damp basements in Windsor, Essex County. The causes for water seepage and moisture buildup in basements vary. Below are 7 of the most common reasons for wet basements that we come across on a daily basis.
Hydrostatic Pressure – Wet soil is very heavy and places enormous pressure against basement walls and foundations. Over time, the pressure may cause basement walls to bow, eventually leading to cracks and leaks. In our region, we often see expansive clay soils causing major structural foundation damage, leading to water seepage in basements.
Poor Grading – When the ground around your foundation slopes toward your house instead of away, you will eventually see water seeping into your basement. A properly graded yard can prevent water from leaking into your home.
Missing or Damaged Gutters – If gutters and downspouts are missing or damaged, water can leak into a basement causing excessive moisture buildup. A broken downspout can cause water to sit and pool around a foundation.
Condensation – Basement condensation occurs when warm, moist air comes in contact with cool basement walls. Condensation can be the result of high humidity, poor insulation or inadequate basement waterproofing.
Interior Water Leaks – Leaky basements can result from leaking showers, sinks, toilets, the washing machine or dishwasher, or simply just a bad pipe.
Clogged or Broken Storm Pipe – A clogged or broken main storm pipe is a common cause for a wet basement. The pipe needs to direct water off your property.
Poor Water Proofing System – A deteriorating waterproofing system can cause leaky and wet basements. It can also lead to mould issues and structural defects that worsen with time.
