What Causes a Wet Basement?

Chances are good that if you have a basement in Maryland, and your house is more than 10 years old, that water from the soil outside is finding its way into your basement walls and floor. That’s because while a responsible builder would have put a waterproofing coating on the exterior of your home’s foundation, that coating starts to deteriorate after a few years. 

The waterlogged soil after heavy rain or snowmelt pushes up against the walls of your basement (hydrostatic pressure), and the water then infiltrates your foundation walls through the porous concrete or cracks that have developed over the years.

You can try a few things on your own, like using downspout extensions to divert rainwater further away and downhill from your home’s foundation. You can also add soil around the foundation to help waterflow away from your home. You may even try so-called waterproofing paint. That paint is really just a cosmetic fix that will eventually fail. For a more long-lasting solution, call in the professionals.
