Why do New Jersey Basements Get Wet?
- Flooding- As a New Jersey homeowner, you don’t have to have suffered during Hurricane Irene or Superstorm Sandy to have experienced a flooded basement. The climate of the state makes all basements vulnerable to excessive precipitation. Coastal homes can be hit by Nor’easters while inland New Jersey must deal with storms coming over the Great Lakes and from the St. Lawrence Valley (NOAA National Climactic Data). In fact, northern New Jersey is beset by double the number of thunderstorms as homeowners along the coast.
- Other Causes of a Wet Basement –Â Even a small but sudden rain can do damage to your basement. Repeated rain seeping in through cracks in the foundation or through rusty basement windows will take a toll on the integrity of your basement. If not well maintained, gutters and drainage systems clog. Over time, foundation soils settle and erosion can cause the grading (the slope of the ground around your home) to change for the worse. Once cracks appear in your basement floor or wall, you run the risk of increased seepage and a musty, mildewy environment. Basement waterproofing can address the underlying issues, prevent future water damage and make the indoor air quality healthier.
