- 10Basement window level with the ground water leak preventionWhen a basement window sits even with the ground, contractors offer completely conflicting recommendations for keeping water out. This leaves homeowners guessing at the right fix while waiting for an inevitable leak to happen.
- 3How to tell which plumbing rough-in pipe is whichUnlabeled stub-out pipes leave homeowners guessing which drain corresponds to a toilet, shower, sink, or cleanout. Without clear markings, it is difficult to plan a basement bathroom layout or confirm if existing plumbing already serves a purpose before hiring a professional.
- 2Is my basement leak from the foundation or a pipe?Huge storms can cause troublesome basement leaks, making it difficult to tell if water is seeping through the foundation or coming from an actual pipe. This confusion leaves you unsure if there is a major concern and stops you from figuring out the exact problem to either fix it yourself or hire someone.
