Sources of Wet Basements
(Place Mouse on Picture for Animation)
Wet basements are common from the Midwest to the East Coast and often found under newer homes. A variety of conditions will cause a basement to become wet and most can be dried up by putting gutters and down spouts on the house. Some will be dried up by filling low areas around the foundation with dirt and sod. The more severe wet basements can easily be dried up with the SquidGee Dry™ System.

As you can see by placing your mouse on the picture, this house really needs gutters and downspouts to discharge rain water at least 8 feet away from the foundation. Properly navigating gutter water way from your foundation is an effective way of keeping unwanted water seepage out of your basement.
Rain rarely falls straight down, more often the rain is blowing against one side of the house. Heavy concentrations of water will run down the face of the wall next to the foundation creating a wet basement. Click on the house at left to see how rain water builds pressure.
