Signs You May Have a Leak in Your Basement

Here are a few signs that may indicate that you have a leak in your basement:

  • Damp & musty smell – When your basement becomes damp from a water leak, the dank and musty odor is unmistakable. If you can detect evidence of mold or mildew from the odor, this may be a sign that you have a leak.
  • Rust – The presence of water against metal creates hydrated ferric oxide (rust). If metal items or fixtures in your basement are rusty, it could be a sign that you have a leak.
  • Staining – You may see a water stain and touch it, only to find the stain is completely dry. This can be the sign of the temporary, one-time presence of water, or it could be the sign of an ongoing leak.
  • White powder on concrete – When water encounters concrete, there’s a slow reaction that can eventually lead to the creation of a white powder known as efflorescence. This powder is only created when water is in contact with concrete. If you notice this white powder on concrete walls, then the chances are high you have a leak.
  • Mold & mildew – Any visible signs of mold or mildew need to be taken very seriously, as the presence of either of these two substances could be a sign that you have a leak in your basement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my basement leaking?

Basements flood when groundwater around the foundation begins to build up. And, unfortunately, water builds up in the soils next to your home. As this water builds up, it enters the basement in any way it can – most often through the basement wall floor joint.

What causes leaks in my basement?

  • Rain and water pools around the foundation
  • Cracks in or around windows and doors
  • Leaky plumbing
  • An inadequate sump pump
  • Condensation

How does the water get into my basement?

Water can find its way into your basement a number of ways, such as:

  • Through cracks in the walls or floor
  • At the joint where the poured concrete floor meets the wall
  • Through cracks in mortar joints of block or masonry foundation walls
