Wet Basements And Snowmelt - Everything You Need To Know
Snowmelt in the spring can cause huge problems for homeowners living in Minneapolis - St. Paul. Basements flood each year when the water from melting snow is trapped between your home and piles of snow around the house that has accumulated throughout the winter.
The water comes in your home because the foundation walls have cracks or holes that allow the moisture to penetrate. Older, failing concrete walkways or patio slabs that butt-up to the home and slope the wrong way can exacerbate this problem. A negative grade around the foundation of the home can also be the culprit.

The pavers were removed and the area was excavated by hand to expose the crack.
