Understanding Water Intrusion

What is Water Intrusion?

Water intrusion refers to the unwanted penetration of water into your home, typically through the foundation, walls, roof, or basement. This can occur due to a variety of reasons, including poor construction, inadequate drainage, or natural wear and tear over time. Water intrusion can lead to significant damage, including mold growth, structural weakening, and deterioration of building materials.

Common Causes of Water Intrusion

There are several common causes of water intrusion in homes:

• Poor Drainage Systems: Inadequate or malfunctioning drainage systems can cause water to pool around the foundation, leading to seepage.
• Foundation Cracks: Cracks in the foundation can provide an entry point for water, especially during heavy rainfall or flooding.
• Roof Leaks: Damaged or poorly maintained roofs can allow water to enter the attic and eventually seep into the walls and ceilings.
• Window and Door Seals: Improperly sealed windows and doors can let water in during storms.
• High Water Tables: Homes built in areas with high water tables are more susceptible to groundwater intrusion.
