What Causes Basement Waterproofing Problems?

A consistently wet basement can snowball into a more significant problem than a homeowner may think. In Colorado Springs, where they receive less than 20 inches of rain per year, it can be easy to push basement water damage off for many other home projects.  

The issue with Colorado Springs is the expansive bentonite soil. Although the area receives less than average rainfall, bentonite soil is problematic, changing its volume drastically during wet and dry seasons. This big change in volume means basement leaks pop up quickly and can create a mess in your basement, ruining belongings and creating health problems resulting from mold growth. Mold needs three things to thrive, food, water, and oxygen, all of which your basement has. So keep an eye out for mold in dark corners or on your personal belongings after a significant rain event.  

Unfortunately, mold spores don’t stay in the basement. Instead, they travel through the home, kicking asthma and allergy symptoms into high gear and leaving homeowners wondering why.  

Stop dealing with the problems and start addressing your water damage as soon as possible. Groundworks has a team of certified inspectors that specialize in basement waterproofing in your area. Since they live and work in your here, they understand the unique conditions Colorado Springs homeowners face and know how to find and solve the root of the problem.  

From drains to sump pumps to dehumidifiers, your inspector will provide you with a thorough look at your water problem and recommend only the solutions you need—no high-pressure sales pitch. Contact us to schedule your free, no-obligation inspection.
