Why basements take on water in Kenova
Winters here swing above and below freezing, which means repeated expansion and contraction in foundations, framing and roof decks. Water gets into basements through floor-wall joints, cracks, window wells and porous block or poured walls whenever the soil outside is saturated and pressing against the foundation. Clogged or short downspouts, flat grading and window wells without drainage send roof and surface water straight to the foundation. Collecting water at the footing or the wall and routing it to a sump or outlet gives it somewhere to go before it reaches the living space.
