Arlington Heights, a beautiful suburb nestled on the outskirts of Chicago, IL, is well known for the Arlington Park Race Track and is the Arlington Million – a Breeder’s Cup qualifying event. But no matter how nice an area is, home problems like wet basements still arise. And Arlington Heights is no exception. Due to it’s location geographically and it’s proximity to the Des Plaines River, many homeowners often experience seepage or even municipal sewer backup during heavy rainstorms. And when you experience these kinds of issues in your home, no doubt you wonder how that water got there in the first place!
Here are a some of the ways water can make it’s way into your basement:
- Old, leaky basement windows
- Window wells fill with water because of clogged or no drains
- Wall cracks in foundation leak
- Seepage from floor cracks or cove joint (where the wall and floor meet)
- Comes in over the top of the foundation
- Sump pump has failed
- Overloaded sewers during heavy rainstorms push sewage water into your basement through floor drains and other plumbing fixtures
There are many ways water can sneak its way into your Arlington Heights basement or crawl space. So, what can you do as a homeowner to protect your property and make sure that seepage doesn’t occur?
