Common wet basement & leak repair calls

• Water seeping where the wall meets the floor
• Leaks through wall cracks or tie-rod holes
• Water coming in around pipes or windows
• Puddles after every storm

Not every wet basement needs a full system. Sometimes the fix is gutters, downspout extensions or regrading. Ask whoever inspects to explain the source of the water before recommending work.
