WARNING SIGNS OF BASEMENT WATER LEAKS
Protecting your home begins with knowing what could cause it harm, and how to find it. The warning signs of structural damage to your foundation aren’t always easily noticeable, which could lead to more expensive repairs down the road.
It is usually quite an obvious problem when water is coming in over the top of your wall, but as with all basement leaks it is always better to catch it sooner rather than later, so that no further damage is caused.
A window well leak is pretty easy to spot, because you will notice water coming directly in to your home around where the well is located. You may see damp or gray patches and stains on the inside of the wall, or water may leak in directly on rainy days.
One of the worst and most harmful signs of a basement leak, is the presence of harmful mold and mildew. Mold is a dangerous fungi that lives off organic materials, and requires water in order to grow and spread.
Efflorescence is a white chalky substance that can sometimes be seen on walls, and may look like little whiskers. It is actually salt deposits, which are dissolved and carried by water, and then left on the concrete or brick when the water dissolves.
Pipes, vents, ducts, and conduits are all required to enter the building at some point in order to connect your home to services like gas and water. But these pipe penetrations can create vulnerable spots where water can get in.
Floor cracks can happen for a number of different reasons, including water damage weakening the surface. They can be structural harmful, or more aesthetic, but they are always worth examining and treating.
