Usually a home is the largest investment in a lifetime and keeping it in good repair only makes good sense. Repairing a Leaky basement quickly is a very prudent thing to do.

Common Causes of foundation leaks:
1. Cracked Foundation
2. Window Wells that leak
3. Drainage Tile System that is failing
4. Poor grading of landscaping near the house
5. Run off Gutters that are plugged or need repair

Some of the possible repair options are listed below:
1. Repair on the drain tiles (have it checked with a camera first)
2. A floor drain installed
3. The addition of a Sump Pump
4. French Drain to capture & divert water
5. Water Proofing (may be part of the solution)
6. Repair of Foundation Cracks

The thought of foundation repair on a home sounds scary and expensive. The important thing to realize is new technologies have helped in keeping costs down and also in quickly identifying the drainage or foundation problem. In many cases the first plan of action is to have a professional review the situation. This person will review the point of water entry and may even send a camera into the drainage system to identify any possible problems. This could identify localized problems before unneeded excavation is done.

If a home has a cracked foundation, in many cases the problem can be tackled from the inside of the home and there is no need to dig up the landscaping. In any case the first place to start is to gather enough information to make an informed decision.
