Happy holidays, everyone!

While these last few months of the year are filled with joy, the beautiful snowfall can be a nuisance in many ways. Not only is it cold, but it can flood your basement, which nobody wants- especially not while you are trying to enjoy a family holiday in.

How will the snow affect my basement?

When the snow falls, it looks beautiful - until it melts into the ground and seeps into your foundation! We all wish for a snow-covered Christmas but as the melted snow moves through the ground, the water finds its way to any crack in your foundation. This is the last thing a homeowner wants to worry about during the holiday season.

How can I fix my wet basement after snowfall occurs, and prevent it from happening again?

It is imperative that a wet basement is taken care of as soon as possible. Just like anything else, the longer a homeowner procrastinates, the worse the problem becomes. By giving the water time, it can and will destroy your basement. Not only will the cracks get worse, but the water itself will damage any belongings it comes in contact with. If your basement is finished, this is even more problematic. The best way to take care of this is to have a drainage system installed along with a wall crack repair system. After that is fixed, it is important to have a dehumidification system installed, as every basement needs one.
