Same problems, local causes
Why Basements Leak Across Summit County
The details change by street, but the causes are the same few things almost everywhere in this area:
- Clay soil that holds water against the foundation after rain
- Hydrostatic pressure pushing water through cracks and the joint where the floor meets the wall
- Older foundations, many of them block, that were never waterproofed
- Gutters, downspouts and grading that dump roof water next to the house
- Sewer backups through the floor drain during heavy storms
