Frequently Asked Questions

What causes wet basements in Aurora?

Wet basements can be caused by heavy rain, melting snow, foundation cracks, poor drainage, high groundwater, or problems with the weeping tile system.

Are foundation cracks always serious?

No. Some small cracks can happen as concrete settles. Larger cracks, horizontal cracks, growing cracks, or cracks that leak water should be inspected.

Can a sump pump help prevent basement flooding?

Yes. A properly working sump pump can help remove water before it collects on the basement floor.

Do I need exterior waterproofing?

Not always. Some water problems can be managed with interior waterproofing, crack repair, sump pumps, or drainage improvements. The correct solution depends on the source of the water.

Can poor drainage damage a foundation?

Yes. Water that collects around the home can increase pressure against foundation walls and may contribute to leaks or foundation damage.
