The wise homeowner would do well to approach a wet basement as follows: • Most water problems in basements are really surface water problems. • Obtain the best diagnosis as to the source of the water. • The most conclusive cause of water seepage into basements is time. • Eliminate as many sources of surface water as possible. • Water problems are best dealt with from the exterior of the house. • Use interior pickup systems if surface water controls fail. • Interior brush-on products will not stop water leakage into basements. As always if you have any questions please give me a call. [phone] • Downspout controls and landscape drainage “cure” many wet basements.
