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.
