Water near your foundation is more than just a nuisance. It can cause serious damage to your home, from basement flooding to structural weakening. At PuroClean of Lakeville, we help homeowners act fast to prevent long term damage — and we work directly with your insurance company to make the process as smooth as possible.
What Causes Foundation Water Damage
Water damage around the foundation can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Poor drainage and clogged gutters
- Grading that slopes toward the house
- Heavy rains or snowmelt
- Cracked foundation walls or floors
- Overflowing window wells
Over time, this water can seep into basements or crawl spaces, cause mold growth, and weaken your home’s structure.
Is It Covered by Insurance
Foundation water damage may or may not be covered by insurance depending on the source.
Often covered:
