Water Damage Warning Signs

There are plenty of signs that you can look for that can help you determine if you have a basement leaking problem. The first is sagging or bowing walls. This can be the result of a shifting foundation and is often seen on the main floor of the home. If you notice that your floors are sagging or that they feel mushy, this may also be an issue with a wet basement or a wet crawlspace.

You may also notice foundation cracks and cracks from the corners of windows and door frames. This is another sign that your foundation is shifting and moving and that there may be more damage than you anticipated. When you notice that you are having issues with the integrity of your foundation, with excessive water in your basement, or any other issue, it is time to call the professionals in to see what solutions exist for the problems at hand.

Oftentimes, signs of water damage are there long before extensive work is needed. If you have not had a full flood to let you know your basement is leaking, these signs will be present and will get worse over time.
