Know the Signs

What Usually Comes Before a Flooded Basement

Most Wilmette calls didn't start with a flood β€” they started with one of these small signs weeks or months earlier.

01

Musty Basement Smell

If the basement smells damp no matter the season, water is likely finding a way in somewhere you can't see.

02

Hairline Wall Cracks

A crack that wasn't there last year is worth a look before it becomes an active leak point.

03

Powdery Residue on Walls

Efflorescence is a reliable early sign that water is moving through your Wilmette foundation wall right now.

04

Pump Cycling Constantly

If your pump only shuts off for a few minutes at a time, it's worth having it checked before it fails outright.

05

Bowing Basement Walls

This is one sign we tell Wilmette customers never to wait on β€” wall movement tends to progress, not resolve on its own.

06

Soft Spots in the Floor

Peeling paint near the floor upstairs is one of the last signs Wilmette homeowners connect to a basement problem.

Crawl Space Moisture Control

Older Wilmette homes with vented crawl spaces see the biggest swings in seasonal humidity β€” encapsulation closes that off for good.
