Wood Rot |

|
Wood rot is a classic sign of water intrusion.
If you see rot, there is no question that water has been there at
some point. How widespread the rot is may be a clue as to the
possible source of the water. If you see wood rot around the
entire basement, odds are you have a hydrostatic water (aka, ground
water) problem. If you see wood rot in one limited area, odds
are you have either a foundation crack, or a surface water problem.
It is important to find the right source, because different sources
require different solutions.
