Puddle On Basement Floor

Puddles on basement floor after rainstorms.

Puddle on basement floor.

That is a common cause of unexplained puddles on floors. The floor is tiled and the puddles are nowhere near walls or windows. This kind of seepage results in a humid atmosphere that breeds unhealthy mold and mildew. I just went down to the basement to look for leaks around my shower which i found and then noticed a fairly large puddle of water not there two days ago about 1 foot by 2 foot.

There are no pipes above it or dra. This puddle is in the middle of the concrete floor not near any walls exterior. One of the telltale signs of a basement water problem is stepping into a puddle on the basement floor. If the basement seems to stay wet regardless of the weather check the walls for excess moisture.

You have been so helpful to me in the past that i m hoping once again for your magic touch whenever it rains hard 1 to 2 inches per half hour i get puddles of water in certain spots on my basement floor. If you have pets or children in the house make sure it was not a kid playing with water or an accident. How and why water comes up from the basement floor can vary so investigative work is needed before panicking. The key is to find the trail of lime deposits it left if it came in over the basement foundation under the house wall in the windows through the foundation wall etc.
