Basment Water Removal
Nothing can cause more damage to your home then a wet basement. Water can collect against the foundation of your home and slowly work to destroy your home’s structure. Many people believe that water in their basement is a problem that they just need to live with. Why live with a wet basement and take the chance that water in your basement will destroy your walls and floors, your foundation, or even make your family sick. If you have a wet basement, start your water removal process today and work to prevent the problem in the future.
The actual water removal process you should follow will depend greatly on the amount of water you discover in your basement. If you find a small pool of water that can be easily cleaned up with towels, your water removal chore will be easy. However larger amounts of water can be removed with a sump pump or a garden pond pump. If you have considerable flooding in your basement, you may want to hire a professional to assist with water removal.
Removing the water that has invaded your basement is only the first step in the water removal process. You want to not only fix the issue but prevent the problem from reoccurring again. Try to determine why the water was in your basement in the first place. Do you have a crack in your foundation or maybe a broken pipe? Even have clogged gutters can force water onto your foundation and into your basement. Keeping all parts of your plumbing and drainage systems workings will help keep your basement dry and lessen your water removal tasks.
If you live in an area with high humidity, you may find yourself with a damp basement due to condensation. Water buildup from condensation is often slower and less noticeable then a leak or broken pipe. However, you still need to work on water removal in order to keep your basement dry and your home protected. If you have a washer and dryer in your basement, you can lessen the need for water removal by making sure your dryer is properly vented and keeping the lint trap clean. You should also completely clean the vents at least once every three years.
It is important to remember that even small amounts of water in your basement can cause major problems to your home. Basement water removal should not be an expected task you complete on a regular basis. Water in your basement can be a symptom of many different problems and it is important to investigate the cause of the water buildup after you complete your water removal project.
Water can destroy the wood in your home, provide a breeding ground for insects, and bring mold into your life. If you live in an area where basements collect water, you may want to consider waterproofing your basement. Spend the time to waterproof and finish your basement and you may discover an entire area of your home that you enjoy spending time in.
