Having flooding or water damage in your basement can be an extremely stressful and expensive event.
By taking a few maintenance steps and keeping an eye out, you can mitigate the risk of water damage in your home and put your mind at ease.
Here are 5 ways to prevent water damage in your basement.
Do It Yourself
Gutters and downspouts carry rainwater away from the foundation of your home.
Making sure they are free of debris and positioned correctly is essential for keeping water from pooling near your foundation and finding its way inside.
The way your yard is landscaped could be the reason you are seeing excess moisture in your basement. If your landscaping is sloped toward your home, water could build up and seep through your foundation.
Leveling the ground or adding a French Drain on your property will guide the water away from your basement and lessen the chance of water damage in your basement.
Cracks in the foundation walls on the interior or exterior of your home could be the reason moisture is getting in.
Basement walls and floors need to be checked for cracks and leaks on a regular basis. Cracks could also be a sign that you need a foundation repair solution.

Having a sump pump requires you to check to make sure it is working properly.
Sump pumps need to be plugged in or have access to back up power such as a battery or generator.
If the pump is not working correctly, it may need to be serviced by a certified technician.
Below-grade basements may have windows that need to be covered. Window well covers are an easy but effective solution to intrusive moisture.
Window well covers come in all shapes, sizes, and styles to meet your specific needs and preferences.
