Water Seeping

---

Water leaks and seepage in your basement can destroy your belongings and living space. Homeowners often contact us when they experience basement seepage problems and need waterproofing systems. Before resolving the issue, it must first be determined where the water is entering the basement. The team at Jerry's Waterproofing are basement waterproofing experts and can be counted on to make sure your basement is moisture-free in no time.

How Water Seeps Into Your Basement

While construction or landscaping flaws can create another option, in most cases water seeps into your basement in one of three ways.

Through cracks in walls.
1. Through cracks in the slab floor
2. Seeping between the slab floor and the block walls

High water tables can contribute to Nos. 2 and 3. In the case of the first, hydrostatic pressure from water in the soil is often to blame for the water entering the walls and, sometimes, for the cracks that it enters through as well.

We can determine how the water is entering your basement and that information will inform our recommendations to you on how the problem should be fixed.

How to Tell If You Have a Water Seepage Issue

This might sound obvious: Is there water?

And you are right, that is the most obvious sign. But if you have an unfinished basement you only use on occasion, you might miss the water altogether and only notice the issues it leaves behind.

A seepage problem in your basement is often accompanied by other signs of basement moisture. Check for some of the following issues to determine whether or not your basement has a seepage problem:

• High Humidity
• Wood Rot or Metal Rust
• Damp Walls
• Condensation on Pipes
• Wet or Damp Insulation

Basement Seepage Solutions We Offer in Omaha, NE

At Jerry's Waterproofing, we offer a variety of waterproofing solutions, both interior and exterior, so we can offer up a solution both will fix your problem and will fit your house. For instance, an interior drainage system can direct water that has infiltrated basement walls or seeped through the areas where the slab, walls and footing meet to a sump pump.
