Your basement is at particular risk for damage due to its location underground. In Duluth, the region's sandy soils are well-draining and easily eroded, which means a lot of water travels below the surface. Unfortunately, if your basement's drain system is faulty, water below the surface will collect next to basement walls and start exerting a force called hydrostatic pressure. Pressure grows and causes basement walls to become cracked and leaky. As a result, water damage occurs below your home and may take other forms like flooded stairs, efflorescence, or wet drywall. Internal plumbing leaks may also cause the same issues in your basement. Preventing moisture accumulation in your basement is possible with solutions like IBA's basement dehumidifier, sump pumps, and interior drainage.
