Reasons for Basement Leaks

No matter the type of home — rowhome, twin, or single-family — Dr. Leaks can help. With decades of experience in construction and leak repair across D.C. and Philly, we’ve seen it all. No basement leak is too mysterious for our team of experts.

Some common basement types we’ve worked on include:

Floor Crack Leaks

A floor crack leak occurs when water seeps through cracks in the floor, often due to underlying structural, plumbing, or groundwater issues. This type of leak is common in basements, concrete slab foundations, and tiled floors.

Gutter and Downpipe Leaks

Gutter and downpipe leaks happen when water escapes instead of draining properly. This can result in damage to your home’s exterior, foundation, and landscaping.

Sump Pump Leaks

A sump pump leak happens when water leaks from the sump pump system instead of being effectively discharged, which can result in basement flooding, structural damage, or mold growth.

Window Well Leaks

A window well is supposed to help water drain, but water can collect in the well and cause leaks. This is due to poor drainage, clogged weeping tiles, or heavy rain. A cracked well or unsealed windows can let moisture seep in, leading to damage in the basement.

Basement Wall Leaks

A basement wall leak happens when water seeps through cracks or weak spots in the foundation. Hydrostatic pressure, poor drainage, or foundation cracks allow water to enter and cause leaks to progress. Leaks can lead to damage, mold, and structural issues without proper repairs.

Client Testimonials

I had mold in the basement from water infiltration from outside. Josh from Dr. Leaks was prompt in getting back to me, very thorough in going through everything, and highly communicative throughout the process of agreeing to and scheduling service. Once scheduled, Leila was super communicative letting me know exactly when the crew was coming, and what to expect. The crew they sent was similar (Zachary and Steve), extremely courteous, explained the process they would follow, showed me exactly what they were finding, and then proceeded to perform an extremely thorough, professional job. I am extremely satisfied with my Dr. Leaks experience!

Alex and his guys came and found the source of my leak in my basement window well quickly. Then they were able to fix the leak and repair the damage to my walls to make my basement look like new. They do great work and clean up after themselves.

Dr. Leaks is a top notch business. They described the entire process before beginning work and everything went as planned. We had a vent stack replaced, which went from the basement to the roof. Dr. Leaks did the repairs with minimal damage to repair in the end, which the business also completed. I would highly recommend them!
