Why You Should Take Water Seeping Through Your Home’s Foundation Seriously
Water seeping through your home’s foundation is a significant issue that demands immediate attention. Not only can it lead to costly structural damage, but it can also cause health problems ranging from minor to severe due to airborne contaminants. If left unaddressed, the damage will worsen over time, resulting in even higher repair costs. We’ve encountered these issues time and time again.

What to Look For:
1. Early Signs
Initially, water damage may not be visible and can show up as subtle indicators. You might notice areas with dampness or discoloration. A closer look could reveal mildew, fungus, or rust at the base of metal appliances. Unusual odors and allergy flare-ups could also be signs. If not addressed, these early signs will worsen, making the dampness more apparent. You might see hairline cracks, peeling paint, or white powder-like residue on walls.
2. Advanced Signs
As the issue progresses, water becomes more noticeable. You may observe puddles on floors or see water seeping in during rainy weather. Floor tiles might lift, and heavy, prolonged rain could lead to basement flooding. Warning: If water comes into contact with electrical wiring, it can carry an electric current, posing a shock or electrocution risk.
3. Structural Damage
If water damage remains unchecked, structural issues become evident. Walls may visibly bow or buckle, floors might shift or sink, and corners can crack. Mud and clay silt may infiltrate the interior, and you might even feel the house shifting.
