As I am writing this blog it’s raining outside, and the only thing I am worried about is will
the grass and plants get enough water? I am not worried about my basement at all.
You see, last October we moved into a new home for us. It’s an older home and the
the unfinished basement smelled like a basement. There was a water table issue. We had
Perma-Seal come and install perimeter drain tile, a new sump pump and their PermaDry system. I am not kidding, in a week after the work was completed the basement
was dry and the odor vanished. Now there are some things you can do to ensure your
basement is dry.
- Make sure your gutters and downspouts are clear and extended away from the home.
- If the soil around your home has settled and water pools when it rains build that back up to shed the water away.
- Inspect the foundation on the outside to see any visible cracks and repair them.
But if the issues persist, call Perma-Seal and have them come out for free to inspect and offer advice from certified professionals to solve your basement water issues once and for all. They have been keeping basements dry in the Chicagoland area for over 45 years. They do excellent work, offer transferable warranties, and do it all for a fair price.
