Wet Basements

Print VersionBookmarkEmail this page to a friend.
Begin the battle against a wet basement before it becomes a problem. Make sure your gutters are in good repair and clear of debris. Also check the grading around your home. If soil settling is causing rainwater to run toward the basement walls, lay down heavy plastic sheeting and build up the grade to achieve a pitch of a quarter inch per foot drop away from the house.
