Why Basements Leak & How To Fix Them

Why is Water Leaking into my Basement?
From poured concrete foundations to monolithic, stone, block or tile basement walls, no basement is safe from water leaking through the basement walls, floor, and floor joist and then entering into your home.  After fixing thousands upon thousands of wet basement problems, the staff, technicians and basement waterproofing specialists at Basement Systems have seen it all, and we appreciate just how damaging a basement water problem can be to your home, health and personal possessions.  A home is one of the greatest investments that an individual can make, and allowing an entire floor's worth of space to become flooded will ruin the value of your home.  Dry Basements can be used as storage space or finished to make a warm, beautiful, new living space in your home.

What are My Options for Repair?
There are five basic approaches to fixing a basement water problem. They are:

• Negative-side Waterproofing
• Exterior Excavation
• Interior Footing Drain
• DryTrak®
• WaterGuard®

While all of these solutions work at least some of the time, you need a solution that's going to work ALL of the time.  This means finding a system that's never going to clog, become overwhelmed or need extremely expensive maintenance.  We'd like to walk you through all of the options involved in choosing a cost-effective and permanent solution to your basement water leakage.
