Remember, roof areas will capture a lot of rainwater and dump it right next to the foundation. In addition, driveways patios and sidewalks that may have settled towards the house foundation will also retain and discharge large volumes of #water towards the basement/crawlspaces. Here is a list of common homeowner remedies for controlling ground water in the basement: • Install eaves troughs (must be cleaned and checked periodically) • Install down spouts to direct #rain #water away from the house foundation • Positive grade (landscaping) away from the foundation • Seal cracks in foundation • Concrete lifting (mud jacking) - consult with professional concrete contractor. • Inspect for pooling water next to the foundation on the exterior during rainy days. If you find any, plan for landscaping and positive grading to direct the water away. Homes built with footing tiles and/or sump pump pits are typically found installed in homes dating back to the 1960/70’s. Footing tiles are installed two ways depending on the elevation of the foundation. For example; in walkout basements the footing tiles will drain water away from the house to the lowest point using natural flow. Whereas, the other option is using a sump pit which brings the footing tile ground water into the sump pit and using a pump to eject the ground water out of the sump pit. At the discharge location just outside the foundation it is recommended for an additional tile to be installed into the landscaping to continue the water flowing away from the house foundation. Homes that are built on or near high water table, flood planes or natural water springs typically rely on tiles and sump pits with pumps to continuously maintain the water level which protects the house structure from mold damage. Homes with high volume use of sump pumps require more attention to ensure the security of its function. Sump pumps are known to fail for many reasons such as floaters, mechanics & power outages. It is recommended to have emergency backups for the sump pumps. Auxiliary pumps can be installed with the use of batteries but the battery only lasts for so long. If you have city water, there is another option; it is component that allows backflow pressure by using city water pressure to push water out of the sump pit. ©copyright 1999 - 2020 John Frejeris INSURANCE: #insurance #insuranceadjusters #insuranceagent #insuranceagency #insuranceadvisors #insuranceagenttraining #insurancefacts #homeownersinsurance #homeinsurance #houseinsurance#insuranceclaims #restoration #fema FOUNDATION: #mold #basementwaterproofing #waterproofing #basement #foundation #waterproofingbasement #waterproof #waterproofing #watertable #water #sumppump #flood #flooding#flooded #floods #floodinsurance #crawlspace #elevation#concrete#blockwall GENERAL: #realestateagentlife #realestateagent #realestate #reality #realtor#realestatetips #realestateagentlife#realestateinvesting#realestatelife #realestatemarket#realestateexperts #investmentproperty #investments #investment #inspection #homeinspection #home #house #construction #contractor #builder #maintenance #viralvideos #viralvideo #viral #fail #buyingahome #buyersagent #buyer #buyers #buyersguide #homebuyers #homebuyer #homebuying #homebuyingtips #homebuyerstips#education #educationnews #educational #eductionvideo #educationalvideos #firsttimehomebuyer#houseflipper#houses #housebuyer #housebuyers #househunting #housebuying #housebuyingtips #hoa #homeownersassociation WIND / WATER: #water #wind #hurricane #hurricanewatch #tornado #tornados #tornadoalleyultimate #tornadoalley #climate #climatechange #rain #rainy #rainwater#raining#climate #climatechange
