Basement Water Seepage Issues in Bemidji Homes?

We restore water damage 24-hours a day in Beltrami County.

Water damage can happen anytime, and homes in Northern Minnesota often have issues with basement seepage. Our Bemidji, Grand Rapids, and Hibbing team have the training, equipment, and experience to restore water damage no matter how big the job is. Here is some information from the Insurance Information Institute about the common causes of water seepage and basement leaks:

Lateral pressure: When the soil surrounding your basement absorbs water and expands, it creates stress on your basement walls, causing them to crack, allowing water to seep into the structure.

Hydrostatic pressure: Similar to lateral pressure, hydrostatic pressure can cause buckling and cracking of the walls and foundation of a house.

Poor landscaping: If the grade of the soil around your foundation runs towards your foundation, your basement can flood.

Clogged window wells: If your window wells are filling with water, your window wells may be improperly installed, or the drain is clogged.

Leaky pipes: Inspect your plumbing systems, starting with their entry into the basement to where it leaves, including the sewer line. Make repairs as required.

Pool Leak: Swimming pool leaks can saturate the ground and weaken your home’s foundation.
