About Basement Water:
How does water get into the basement?
Some of the most common sources of water in your basement are poorly installed soil and drainage systems, inadequate gutters, incorrect slope in your yard, basement cracks, hydrostatic pressure, and condensation. Intrusion occurs at or along the foundation walls of the home. If water has nowhere to drain to, then standing water will occur, causing moisture to rise and be embedded into the floor structure of the home and the entire basement area will be damp.
How do I remove water from the basement?
The root cause of dampness in your basement is frequently to do with drainage issues. The Crawlspace Medic Drain System is installed near the foundation footer of the home to help collect water, which falls into the drain and is carried to a sump pump pit. With proper pitch and depth, the trench will carry the water to the lowest point of the basement, terminating into a sump pump pit, with a sump pump installed to discharge the water out of the basement.
What's causing the funny smell in my basement?

Basement Waterproofing Systems
Sump Pumps are used to support your basement drain systems. They can protect your property from flooding and excess water build-up by mechanically removing the water out of your basement promptly. The basement slab would be cut to the size of the sump pump basin, where the sump pump would be installed and properly discharged to the exterior. If needed, the basin can have a lid along with an upgrade to a battery backup system.
Sub-slab interior drains might be an option for your home if you have higher than normal waterproofing needs. It is one of the more invasive installation services but will be a great added benefit to your basement. The process involves breaking through, removing, and exposing the footer along the foundation wall of your home, to install a proper drainage system. This will collect the water at the most likely area, under and around the footer, and take it to the sump pump. After the drain system is installed, a concrete patch may be placed on top of the drain system to create a finished look for the concrete floor.
Dimple boards are an effective way to prevent excess moisture from passing through your basement walls. They have “dimples” that capture the water and moisture that may seep through the wall and run it into the drain system on the floor. Installing this can save years on your basement walls. Dimple boards integrate into your existing drain system through the slab installation. The height of installation will depend on the job situation such as exterior grading and other issues. This is a great solution if you plan to finish your basement by protecting finished materials against a wet basement wall.
At Crawlspace Medic and Basement Pros, we use a permanent dehumidifier system from Sante Fe to provide humidity control in your basement. Regardless if you have a waterproofing system or not, the addition of a dehumidifier in your basement will reduce musty odors and dampness in your basement. A reduction of humidity will protect stored items and keep the basement air dryer.
