• Water logging in basements can prove to be a
  menace in terms of health as well as life of the
  property. In spite of taking all necessary
  precautions during construction stage, water can
  find its way into basements adds Benjamin Pure.
• Walls in basement should be inspected
  periodically to check development of fresh
  cracks. If you find cracks or visible damage to
  walls, then proper reinforcement measures must be
  implemented immediately in order to prevent
  further damage. The process of development of
  basement cracks is slow and hence constant
  monitoring is required to prevent greater damage.

• Before one looks at water problems in the
  basements, it is vital to take look at the roof.
  This is where the water comes into contact with
  construction. Proper management for drainage of
  rain water can ensure that water does not get
  accumulated near the base of construction.
• During rainy season the amount of water that
  flows down from the rainwater pipes can cause
  water to accumulate if enough care is not taken
  for rain water drainage. Extra wide gutters
  should be constructed to allow rain water to flow
  without hassles according to Benjamin Pure.

• Gutters along the roof should be broader and need
  to be sloped properly to let the water drain down
  with ease. The horizontal pipes that carry
  rainwater should be provided with opening at the
  bottom that directs the water away from the base
  of construction.
• Decision to reconstruct basement must be taken by
  studying all available alternatives. This is
  because of the huge costs involved in
  reconstruction of the basement. Every basement
  needs constant care and maintenance to avoid
  costly repairs.
• You can hire a contractor for annual maintenance
  of basement as well as rain water drainage
  systems. This is a prudent option if you are able
  to choose a reliable service providing agency.
  There are many ways one can enjoy the luxury of
  basement, provided it is maintained properly,
  feels Benjamin Pure.
