Basement flooding may not cause structural danger to your property. But you will suffer damage to your furniture and other stored items that you have in your basement. If you have cherished photographs, mementos, a wedding dress or some keepsake stored in your basement, the losses can be enormous in emotional value. Basement leaks are luckily easier to detect, and manifest themselves as stains on the floors or walls, that are easy to diagnose.
Luckily, signs of water damage in the basement are easier to pinpoint. Look for signs of mold and mildew. The musty smell is a dead giveaway, and if you look long and hard underneath furniture and behind objects, you will se the signs of mold soon enough. Rusted metal, white deposits on surfaces, little insects in the basement, stains and dampness around floor cracks -- these are all indications that there is a water damage problem that could get out of hand.
Make sure that your basement has a fully functioning sump pump that can be used for basement drying in case of a flood. Remember that most sumps are only good for use for about ten years, and have to be replaced after that. Make sure that your sump pump is always in perfect condition to be of use when disasters strike.
