Allow Anta Plumbing to ensure that your basement is a dry, warm and beautiful living space. When our basement leak specialists come out to your home, they will be presentable, equipped, trained, and certified. The first course of action will be to detect the basement leak, which might be caused by a range of issues:

Water pipe leaks – If your sump pump works all the time, even when the sun shines, you may well have a water pipe leak. There may be a spring under your basement, or the water main pipe that routes water to your home may be leaking. There could also be a burst pipe, or a clogged drain could be allowing water to build up and leak into your basement.

A broken pipe that leaks potable water into your home will usually show the folllowing signs:

• Look at your water bill for any dramatic spikes.
• Check whether your water meter runs when all your faucets and water using appliances are off.
• Listen for a slight hissing sound in the pipe that enters the basement.

Causes of leaks into your basement may also be due to:

Clogged exterior footing drains – Tree roots and silt may clog up the footer drains that are meant to relief water pressure on the foundation of your home. Anta plumbing can help blast away blockages such as roots in drains using high-pressure hydro-jetting equipment, or a traditional auger. If old clay tiles have collapsed or need replacement, we can handle that too.

Blocked floor drains – Floor drains should be professionally cleaned at least once a year. The floor drain should have a u-trap that remains filled with water in order to prevent it from letting in sewerage gasses.

Once we have established the cause of your basement leak, we will go about fixing it. Since our trucks are fully stocked with all the most common tools and supplies, we should be able to repair the leak right away. We will dry up the mess, if required, and our plumbing experts may also recommend basement waterproofing services, which include:

1. Diverting drain water away from the foundation.

We will ensure that your lawns are properly grated and that gutters and downspouts direct water away from your home using extensions.

2. Installing a sump pump.

If you don’t have a sump pump already, we would highly recommend you consider installing one. Combine this with French drains for the best results.

3. Waterproofing.

If your basement is much more moist than it should be, basement waterproofing is just what you need. While basement waterproofing is a complex task, homeowners who have invested in it find it to be the best answer to their problems.
