A wet basement can be caused by surface water and ground water
-
Every year snow melts and rain falls while gravity pulls this moisture deeper into the frost line.
-
Because this seepage is constantly moving beneath the frost line, you should expect water related problems year round.
-
As this water approaches your home it collects in the loosely packed soil that is pressing against your foundation.
-
As the water level continues to raise the weight of the water causes pressure to build (Hydrostatic Pressure).
-
This pressure forces water into settlement cracks in your home’s foundation and sooner or later, you get a wet basement
A home with a wet basement is worth less than an identical home that is dry and healthy
-
If you want the house to be easier to show, and thus easier to sell, the wet basement made dry and healthy before the house is shown to buyers.
-
When a house is under contract for sale, the buyer will usually retain the services of a home inspection company to report on the overall condition of the house.
-
The home inspection is a comprehensive exam of the building from roof to basement and everything in between.
