Why Basements Leak and What You Can Do About It

As the spring rains come, our phones start ringing. Prolonged or heavy rains create a build up of hydrostatic pressure on the exterior walls as the ground becomes over situated.

John will be further explaining basement leaking as well as solutions and tips for home owners. Tune in to AM Northwest on Channel 2 Monday morning.
