Basement Problem Signs in Morgantown
Damage in your Morgantown basement can show up in many forms, but they are typically obvious problem signs that you will easily notice. Look for flooding, floor cracks, wall cracks, leaky windows, flooded stairs, mold, and efflorescence in your basement, and keep an eye out for elevated humidity and musty odors throughout your home. These problems will not go away on their own, and they will get worse over time, become more hazardous, and cost more to fix. That is why catching them early and promptly seeking professional assistance is so important.
What are the Causes of Basement Damage in Morgantown?
Water can accumulate in your basement for numerous reasons, including a faulty sump pump or plumbing leaks inside your home. However, the most common causes stem from Morgantown’s weather and soil conditions. Varied soil types, including Monongahela silt loam, expansive clay, and well-drained sandy loam, exist throughout Morgantown and northern West Virginia. All of them can be negatively affected by the 43 inches of rain and 28 inches of snow that fall throughout the year in Morgantown. During periods of heavy, consistent rain, water collects in the soil next to the basement walls, forms a “clay bowl” and results in hydrostatic pressure that leads to wall cracks and leaks. Additionally, your home could have improper foundation drainage and clogged gutters and downspouts.
