What causes basement flooding?

Section diagram

Basements can flood from a number of areas. Even a small leak can become a full-scale basement flood that leads to extensive damage to finishing materials and stored items.

Plumbing failures and severe weather are the most common causes of flooding, which is why it's essential to be prepared with a proper waterproofing system.

Root causes 3 most common

Severe storm events saturate the surrounding clay soil. When the local water table rises, the moisture forces its way upward right through the dirt floor of your crawl space.

Broken downspouts or unextended gutter lines release thousands of gallons of roof water directly next to your foundation walls, which instantly flows downward under the structure.

Continuous wet soil evaporates water vapor into the air. This damp, heavy air rises due to the stack effect, saturating your floor joists and worsening the water accumulation problem under your living spaces.

What causes standing water in your crawlspace?

Crawl spaces are built lower than the surrounding landscape, making them function like a natural basin. Without proper exterior barriers, perimeter drainage, and high-performance sump pumps, surface and ground runoff will naturally trap itself under your house.
