Unveiling the Causes of Wet Basements
There are several reasons you might discover water in your basement. While a major event like a severe rainstorm is a clear cause of basement flooding, others are less obvious:
- Blocked or broken pipes in your interior drain system or yard drainage
- Tie rod holes not sealed properly.
- Cracks in your foundation
- Basement walls are weakening and need to be stabilized
- Sump pump stopped working
- Backup sump pump failed
- Window well leaking
- Clogged gutters or downspout extensions
When you schedule waterproofing service with Perma Dry Michigan, we pinpoint the cause of basement flooding and work to prevent future damage.
The Importance and Significance of Basement Waterproofing
No one wants to discover a flooded basement, but you may not realize the full benefits of investing in high-quality basement waterproofing:
Breathing in damp air isn’t good for your respiratory system. Lowering the humidity level in your home with professional waterproofing can improve your indoor air quality.
Basements are meant to provide added storage space, but you can’t confidently store anything in a basement that regularly floods. Waterproofing allows you to safely store your keepsakes in the basement without worrying about water damage destroying your family heirlooms and happy memories.

The Consequences of Neglecting Basement Waterproofing
Without waterproofing, you could face extensive problems. Proactively protect your property by working with Perma Dry Michigan.
Mold Growth
Mold spores thrive in a damp, humid environment. If you delay waterproofing your basement, you could end up with a mold infestation running rampant inside the walls of your home.
Extensive Structural Damage
Waterproofing keeps moisture away from the foundation and the structural materials that make up your home.
Diminished Resale Value
Your home will not sell for the best possible price if it has extensive foundation damage from perpetual flooding and water damage.
