What to Do If You Find Water in Your Basement: A Step-by-Step Guide for Edmonton Homeowners

1. Identify the Source

Is the water coming from a wall, floor, or window?

Most common causes in Edmonton:

1. Heavy rain or snowmelt
2. Cracks in the foundation
3. Missing or clogged weeping tiles
4. Poor exterior drainage

🧹 2. Clean It Up (But Carefully)

1. Remove water with a wet vac or towels
2. Use fans and dehumidifiers
3. Move furniture to dry areas❌ Never use regular household vacuums for water cleanup.

⚠️ 3. Don’t Make These Mistakes

1. Don’t seal wet walls with paint
2. Don’t ignore the problem — it usually returns
3. Don’t delay: mold can start growing within 48 hours
