Wet Basement in Tacoma?

Tacoma Washington - We Service Wet Basements - Northwest Drainage

There are lots of wet basements in Tacoma. Although basements are less and less part of new construction, there are many houses that are 30, 40, 50, 60 years old. Many of those old homes were built with basements. We find a lot of these older homes with wet basements in the Ruston and North slope side of Tacoma.

We can ensure that your basement stays dry even through the wet, rainy Pacific Northwest winters. How do we do that? It comes down to finding where the water is coming from. MOST of the time, the water table rises and any cracks or seams that are not 100% sealed, start leaking. Leaks to not always come from cracks that are easy to see. Sometimes these crack need to be fixed before the basement can be dry.

Water tables typically rise during heavy rain saturation. However, we have found that construction projects near your Tacoma home or business can change the flow of subterranean waterways, sometimes directing all that water right to your property.
