Home to Arlington International Racecourse, one of the most well-known horse racetracks, Arlington Heights, IL is a popular suburb of Chicago with a booming community. Unfortunately, many homes in the Arlington Heights area tend to have basement flooding problems. Experiencing a flooded basement can be extremely frustrating.
However, many homeowners face these same leaking basement issues. Discovering the root of the seepage problem is a difficult task because there are a variety of causes that could be the source of basement water.

Causes of Basement Seepage
- Window wells are sometimes the reason water gets into your basement. Window wells that are not properly constructed or have clogged drainage systems allow water to build up without draining. The water can only go into your basement through the window.
- Sump pumps need to be replaced every 5 years, which people often forget. When sump pumps fail, the groundwater that would have been pumped away actually backs up into your basement, causing flooding. Old sump pumps are more likely to fail during heavy rain, which is when you really need them.
- The most common reason for leaks in basements is Hydrostatic Pressure. This is when water saturates or oversaturates the soil around your home and is forced through either existing foundation cracks or gaps, or it creates the cracks, and then seeps in.
