Getting to the Bottom of Basement Water Leak Repair

Home / Leak Detection / Getting to the Bottom of Basement Water Leak Repair

Water Leak RepairIf you have a basement in your home, make sure that you check the floor for water leaks every now and then to see if you’re in need of water leak repair. Basements are a magnet for water problems since they’re underground and close to water, which means that you have to be diligent about checking them. Call our technicians at Ben Franklin if you ever find water leaks in your basement.

Reasons Your Basement Floor is Wet

Should you ever discover that your basement floor is wet, possible reasons include:

  • Ground water from rainwater that isn’t draining away from your home properly.
  • Backed-up sewer pipes from a sewer line that might be connected to a storm water run-off.
  • Leaking pipes that might be concealed in the walls of your home.

Once you have water leak repair, ask about preventative steps you can take so the problem doesn’t happen again in the future.

Prevention

If your basement floors aren’t wet, there are things that you can do to prevent plumbing complications. Make sure that your gutters are positioned so that rainwater runoff doesn’t drain too close to your home where it can seep into your basement. The ground around your home should have a gentle downward slope that can handle any runoff that does pool near your home. You can also check to see if your supply main has a leak by shutting off your home’s water supply and checking to see if the meter stops. You might be in need of water leak repair if it doesn’t.

Contact Ben Franklin if you’re ever in need of a Dallas area water leak plumber.
