Nebraska Wet Basement

A wet basement can be very frustrating. We classify wet basements by assessing what stage the leak is at. The stages for a leak range from dampness all the way through flooding.

Wet basements are caused by leaks in the yard. They typically start off small, and get bigger over time. The problem in the yard is the result of surface water penetrating the ground to get to the foundation via the force of gravity. In order to stop the basement from getting wet we need to find the source of the water.

We specialize in finding the source of the water and prescribing the best method for stopping the water from getting in the basement. Because the problem is typically small in size, the solution is usually inexpensive, and it can be as low as a bottle of caulk.

Basement waterproofing are techniques that stop water getting in basements. In order to fix the problem - aka: stop the leaking water into the basement, you must know how the water is getting in. 97% of wet basements are caused by waterproofing problems in the yard.
