Can outside drainage be improved to avoid installation of a drain system or installing other basement leak repairs or waterproofing remedies?
Sometimes grading and/or downspout extensions can solve a leaking basement. Checking to see if your gutters are working properly to keep water away from your foundation is very important. Depending upon the situation, correcting the problem yourself is very much a possibility. If your trained representative feels that the problem is minimal, he will give you tips and ideas as to how you can take care of it yourself. However, if the water is coming from the cove area (where the basement floor and the foundation wall meet) this simply put is a natural seam in which the water can most easily penetrate your foundation.
