Where the water comes from

Everything about basement waterproofing 

Water pressing in the ground around your house can come from a number of places; water pours off of roofs when it rains (at quite an astonishing rate, I might add, More then 500 gallons for every centimeter on a small to average sized house,) underground wells, poor drainage, leaking underground pipes, or underground rivers.

As a house settles, the dirt right around it tends to do the same, creating what’s called a “reverse grade” Where the ground is lower right around your house, thus causing water to flow right down against the structure. These are just a few ideas on where the water can come from and cause your foundation or basement distress.
