SNOW & BASEMENT & CRAWLSPACE WATER LEAKS

Uwanted water leaking into our home is frustrating to say the least. In addition, this winter has already proven to be a formidable one. The problem for many unprotected homeowners is waiting to get hit with a deluge of ground water as the snow melts. 

Look at it out the window. Innocent enough, right? Picturesque even. 
A Winter Wonderland?

Imagine the thousands of gallons of that white water just sitting around & on top of our homes, just waiting for the slightest bit of sun to begin making its way into the ground and through the foundation,  covering the entire floor with water, wicking up through the Sheetrock, destroying paper & organic goods, ruining finished living space, or increasing humidity to unhealthy levels. In addition a wet or damp basement disrupts our busy lives and flow of the household. And if you were considering selling and moving, that is a real burden. Prospective buyers are very apprehensive about wet and damp basements and crawlspaces.

The possibility of toxic mold being present scares anyone. The idea that your wet basement is a recurring problem, that you're trying to unload on them to deal with every time it rains, is a scenario they would just as soon pass on.
As the freshly melted snow percolates into the earth, the idyllic winter scene around your home begins to change.

Slowly the foundation walls begin to feel the hydrostatic pressure, the concrete slab resists for a time, but it's futile. The concrete is after all, porous.
The earthen crawlspace gradually becomes muddy & wet. In short order, foul smells emanate from the wet, damp basement and crawlspace that lie below the living space. The Indoor Air Quality has been altered. Extra storage space now compromised. Laundry rooms, kids play rooms, pool room, "man" caves, etc. compromised.
