But these aren't the only culprits for your wet basement. The true cause of your wet basement is likely the clay bowl effect or hydrostatic pressure.
Excavated soil replaced around a completed foundation isn't as dense and tightly packed as undisturbed soil farther away. As a result, water collects in the soil immediately surrounding your home, putting pressure on your foundation walls and causing cracks.
Another reason for your wet basement is hydrostatic pressure. The weight of the water in the soil around the foundation exerts pressure, which forces the water through gaps, cracks, holes, and around windows that lead into your basement.
The combination of the clay bowl effect and hydrostatic pressure put your home at risk for costly water damage to your basement.
At A NO Dealers, we offer many basement waterproofing solutions. We know that even a small amount of water in the basement can lead to major problems down the road. Leaky basement walls, water coming up through the basement floor, moisture in the basement, and leaky basement windows all eventually lead to mold and mildew growth, wood rot, and damaged furniture and belongings.
