Why does my basement leak?
Several factors can cause basement leaks. Your home’s draintile can become clogged with silt and settlement, causing it to fail. Parging on the outside of the home may have deteriorated, allowing water to enter the foundation. A professional inspector is able to determine exactly why your basement leaks.

My house is 20 years old. Why is it starting to leak now?
As homes age, they need maintenance and repairs. You normally replace your roof after 15 or 20 years. You replace appliances when they wear out. The same goes for foundations. The original tiles fail, or become clogged, or the wall sealant wears out and begins to crack. Also, conditions in the ground may have changed the way water flows around and under your home in a way that the original system cannot handle.

I have a crawlspace. I'm safe from leaks, right?
Sorry. You may have better odds, because the crawl space is not as deep as a basement, but crawlspaces leak, get moldy, and have the same problems as basements.
Like a basement, crawl space walls hold up your home and you need to resolve any problems as soon as they arise.
