Four Simple Outdoor Repairs To Keep Your Basement Dry
If you want to avoid a wet basement in the spring, now is the time to repair four simple causes that can lead to basement leaks.
Because the majority of damp basement problems begin outside your house, right now is the perfect time to repair them and experience a dry basement in the years ahead.
Here are four areas to investigate in order to fix basement leak problems.
Gutters: Gutters filled with debris are the most likely source of rain and melting snow runoff that finds its way into your house’s basement. When gutters are clogged, water flowing off the roof has nowhere to go but over the edge of the gutter. That often spills the water right next to the foundation.
Cleaning out gutters must be a central part of your home repair routine. Examine your house’sgutters in the autumn after most leaves have dropped and then again in the spring to look for ice damage and debris that may have collected over the winter.
Downspouts : Make sure your home’s downspouts are draining at least eight-to-ten feet beyond the home’s foundation. If you are utilizing troughs or downspout extensions to extend the drainage area, make sure they are angled down hill.
The Foundation: Ensure the earth around your home’s foundation and make certain that it angles down and away from the wall. If you need to add soil, use fill dirt or soil with high clay content. Stay away from using black dirt. Black dirt is too porous and water spilling off the roof will soak right through it before it has a chance to drain away.
Also ensure cement sidewalks and patio slabs that ajoin the foundation. If the concrete sections are sloping down towards the foundation, they should be be mud jacked up or replaced. If there is only a little bit of a angle, you may be able to get away with caulking the joint where the slab hits the basement wall with a waterproof caulk.
Basement Windows: If you have window wells, check to make sure the gravel at the bottom of the well hasn’t been clogged with leaves or that plants are growing in the window well. Clean out the plants and leave and rake the gravel to help loosen it and restore drainage.
Use your autumn home repair routine to eliminate spring basement leaks and keep your basement dry.
