Cracks in the drain line can also cause wastewater to seep up through the basement floor.
This can cause significant damage over time.
Leaks can come from the pipes that travel to fixtures and appliances or the actual fixtures or appliances.
Next, check the pipes in the basement for leaks.
Extreme condensation can also sometimes give the impression that the pipes are leaking.
Condensation forms when the water in the pipes is significantly colder than the air outside them.
Resolve most condensation issues by insulating the water pipes.
Clogged Gutters
Another factor that contributes to water seepage and basement flooding is the gutter system.
The result is water pouring over the sides of the gutters wherever possible.
Poor Drainage
The gutter system is made to carry water away from the home.
