Causes of Water Seepage

When water seeps into your basement and causes excessive moisture despite having a proper drainage system, it is caused by cracks or gaps in the basement walls and floor. This allows for water seepage, which the restoration professionals at Superior Basement can stop on a permanent basis.

During the construction of any structure, the soil is excavated and backfilled when the construction of the basement is done. In most cases, the soils surrounding your basement stays loosely compacted after the backfilling. During heavy rain, the soil absorbs more water and expands, putting pressure on the basement walls. This pressure over time causes the walls to cracks and allows water to seep into your basement in Hartford, New Haven, Pine Meadow, New Rochelle, Scarsdale, and other cities we serve in Connecticut & Westchester County, NY.
