  •  Signs of a Damp or Wet Basement
  •   Water stains along walls or floor. This could be caused by something simple such as an overflowing laundry tub or it could be a result of water seeping in through basement windows, the walls or the floor. 
  •   Musty odor or damp smell. Excess moisture in a basement can cause an unmistakable smell. 
  •   Mold. It could be colored black, brown, yellow or green, and you won't know for certain if it's mold without testing it. Often the northwest corner of a house is known as a "cold corner" and susceptible to developing mold.
  •   Efflorescence. This condition produces a white or sometimes grayish ash on the walls. Sometimes it sparkles. Efflorescence is caused by salt deposits left behind by evaporating water. 
  •   Spalling. When water gets inside the surface of concrete, brick or stone, salt         deposits from the water cause the surface to flake away, peel or pop off.
  •   Potential Causes of a Wet Basement
  •  Ground water. Water can seep through floors and foundations due to freakish heavy   rain or seasonal run-off, or it could be constant water seepage. 
  •  Overflowing gutters. Gutters can overflow because of:
  • Excessive rainfall. 
  • Clogging from leaves or debris. 
  • Improper installation, for example, draining from the second-floor gutters into the first-             floor  gutters. 
  • Sudden thaw from frozen gutters.
  •  Not enough gutters. Sometimes homeowners install gutters in one or two locations but not all the way around the house. 
  • Downspouts. Water problems can be caused by disconnected downspouts or downspouts that aren't long enough to direct water away from the house. 
  • Improper landscaping or grading. This causes water to flow toward the house instead of away from the house. 
  • Sprinklers. If sprinklers are aimed toward the house, too much water will accumulate at the foot of the foundation and /or leak through the foundation. 
  • Condensation from pipes. Often, in high humidity areas, pipes will form condensation and drip, especially from air conditioner units without a release valve. 
  • Water leaks inside the walls. If the interior walls lead directly from the attic to the basement, it can provide a direct channel for water from the roof to seep inside the house.
