From clearing blocked storm lines to repairing sump pumps and installing proper drainage systems, we provide full-service solutions to protect your property from costly damage.
What Is Water Seepage?
Water seepage occurs when unwanted water enters your basement through walls, floors, or cracks. It’s often caused by poor drainage, blocked storm lines, or malfunctioning sump pumps. Left untreated, seepage can lead to mould growth, water damage to your foundation and surrounding structures, and costly repairs.
Common Signs
Recognizing the early signs of water seepage can save you thousands in repairs. Here’s what to look for:
Water Pooling in the Basement
Standing water on your basement floor is a clear indicator of drainage failure or blocked storm lines.
Damp or Wet Walls
Moisture on walls suggests water is seeping through cracks or foundation weaknesses.
Musty Smells or Mould Growth
Persistent odours or visible mould signal long-term moisture problems that need immediate attention.
Water Coming Through Cracks or Seams
Visible leaks through floor joints or wall seams point to serious drainage issues.
Possible Causes
Several underlying issues can lead to water seepage. Understanding these causes helps prevent recurring problems:
Blocked Storm Lines
When storm drains are obstructed, water cannot escape and instead flows back into your basement.
Malfunctioning Sump Pumps
A broken or improperly installed sump pump can’t keep up with water flow, leading to seepage.
Calcium Buildup
Hardened calcium in footing tiles or pipes restricts drainage and forces water back toward your home.
Improper Connections
Incorrect sump pump or sewage pump connections can cause water to flow into the wrong system.
