Basement flooding during a storm is a problem that all New Jersey homeowners need to worry about. And when it does occur, it’s very important that you understand exactly why it’s happening. Your basement could be flooding for a number of different reasons, the most common of which include:

• A blockage forms in your septic system.
• You have poorly designed or ill-maintained gutters and downspouts, leading to poor water runoff.
• Poor yard drainage causes water to overwhelm your foundation.
• There are cracks in your basement walls.

The cause of your basement flooding could be obvious, or it may you may need to hire a professional to help you determine the cause. Either way, you should check all possible causes, as there could be more than one point of water penetration in your basement. Your basement will only be fully waterproofed when every potential point of water entry is taken care of.
