Water In Basement |
| |
 |
Edith, Our daughter bought an old home and shortly after, a torrential downpour led to seepage in the basement. After putting in a new sump pump, cleaning the totally clogged gutters and downspouts, and extending the downspout drains a little further away from the house, she has had no further problems. It takes just a little bit of investigation and hard work to come up with a solution. – A doting father, J. H., Phelps |

It’s remarkable how many basement problems can be solved simply with downspout extensions. Beyond what your daughter did, changes in the contour of the earth around the foundation often solve the problem, eliminating the need for elaborate waterproofing projects. |
