The Pressure You Can't See: Understanding Water Intrusion

 DID YOU KNOW WATER CAN BUILD UP BEHIND YOUR WALLS?

When water collects in the soil around your foundation, it can create pressure against your walls. Over time, this pressure can contribute to leaks, cracks and water intrusion.

 Protecting your home starts with understanding what’s happening beneath the surface.

Don’t wait until water intrusion becomes a bigger problem. Look out for damp walls, musty odors, water stains and recurring leaks.

What can you do to help protect your home?

Keep your gutters clean and make sure downspouts direct water away from your foundation.

Check your yard for areas where water collects after heavy rain.

Pay attention to damp walls, musty odors, water stains and new or worsening cracks.

Don’t ignore recurring leaks. Addressing water problems early can help prevent more extensive damage.
