• Water logging in basements can prove to be a menace in terms of health
as well as life of the property. In spite of taking all necessary precautions
during construction stage, water can find its way into basements adds
Benjamin Pure.
• Walls in basement should be inspected periodically to check development
of fresh cracks. If you find cracks or visible damage to walls, then proper
reinforcement measures must be implemented immediately in order to
prevent further damage. The process of development of basement cracks
is slow and hence constant monitoring is required to prevent greater
damage.

3. • Before one looks at water problems in the basements, it is vital to take
look at the roof. This is where the water comes into contact with
construction. Proper management for drainage of rain water can ensure
that water does not get accumulated near the base of construction.
• During rainy season the amount of water that flows down from the
rainwater pipes can cause water to accumulate if enough care is not taken
for rain water drainage. Extra wide gutters should be constructed to allow
rain water to flow without hassles according to Benjamin Pure.

4. • Gutters along the roof should be broader and need to be sloped properly
to let the water drain down with ease. The horizontal pipes that carry
rainwater should be provided with opening at the bottom that directs the
water away from the base of construction.
• Decision to reconstruct basement must be taken by studying all available
alternatives. This is because of the huge costs involved in reconstruction of
the basement. Every basement needs constant care and maintenance to
avoid costly repairs.
• You can hire a contractor for annual maintenance of basement as well as
rain water drainage systems. This is a prudent option if you are able to
choose a reliable service providing agency. There are many ways one can
enjoy the luxury of basement, provided it is maintained properly, feels
Benjamin Pure.
