Sources of a Wet Basement

Wet basements are common from the mid-west to the east cost and often found under newer homes. A variety of conditions will cause a basement to get wet and most can be dried up by putting gutters and down spouts on the house. Some will be dried up by filling low areas around the foundation with dirt and sod. The more severe wet basements can easily be dried up with the SquidGee Dry System.

No digging. No busting up your floor. Its easy to install and SquidGee Dry will save you BIG MONEY! As you can see by placing your mouse on the picture at left, this house really needs gutters and down spouts to discharge rain water at least 8 feet away from the foundation.

Rain rarely falls straight down, more often the rain is blowing against one side of the house. Heavy concentrations of water will run down the face of the wall next to the foundation. Click on the house at left to see how rain water builds pressure.
