Puddles On Basement Floor

The fissures accumulate water that slowly moves down into the basement where it shows up as damp areas on walls and puddles on the floor.

Puddles on basement floor.

Few scenes put fear into homeowners like spotting water on the basement floor for the first time and rightly so too because this can be a sign of bigger problems and must be taken seriously. Perhaps not understanding hydrostatic pressure and its effects many homeowners have tried methods of repairing cove seepage or floor cracks that just don t work. How and why water comes up from the basement floor can vary so investigative work is needed before panicking. If the basement seems to stay wet regardless of the weather check the walls for excess moisture.

This kind of seepage results in a humid atmosphere that breeds unhealthy mold and mildew. You have been so helpful to me in the past that i m hoping once again for your magic touch whenever it rains hard 1 to 2 inches per half hour i get puddles of water in certain spots on my basement floor. I just went down to the basement to look for leaks around my shower which i found and then noticed a fairly large puddle of water not there two days ago about 1 foot by 2 foot. The floor is tiled and the puddles are nowhere near walls or windows.

The key is to find the trail of lime deposits it left if it came in over the basement foundation under the house wall in the windows through the foundation wall etc. There are no pipes above it or dra. That is a common cause of unexplained puddles on floors.
