Signs of Water Seepage

Water seepage occurs when the soil around your home’s foundation becomes over-saturated. This is a very common problem during the summer months when storms hit the Kansas City area. When the soil becomes over-saturated by heavy rain, it will cause the soil to expand and put an enormous amount of pressure on your foundation walls. This pressure can cause several issues that can cause water seepage into your home. This is why it is so important to inspect your home and its foundation to ensure that these issues do not go left untouched. Some signs to look out for include the following:

  • Cracks in the walls and ceilings
  • Sticking doors and windows
  • Sloping floors
  • Water stains
  • Peeling paint
  • Misaligned trim
  • Musty odors
  • Foundation crumbling
