Top 3 Things to Think About When Maintaining Your Basement Walls & Waterproofing

Maintaining your basement walls and waterproofing system is key to protecting your home’s foundation and preventing costly damage. Here are the top three things every homeowner should keep in mind.

1. Water Management Outside the Home
The first line of defense starts outdoors. Make sure gutters and downspouts are clear and directing water at least 6 feet away from your foundation. Check that the soil around your home slopes away from the walls to prevent water from pooling and seeping inside.

2. Wall Condition and Cracks
Regularly inspect basement walls for cracks, bowing, or flaking. Even small cracks can allow moisture to enter and worsen over time. Address issues early with proper sealing or professional repairs to prevent structural damage and mold growth.

3. Interior Moisture Control
Humidity plays a major role in basement health. Use a dehumidifier, ensure proper ventilation, and watch for signs of dampness or musty odors. Controlling moisture inside helps protect walls, finishes, and indoor air quality.

Staying proactive with these three areas can help keep your basement dry, strong, and worry-free.
