Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Broomfield, CO
Basement seepage, failed sumps, and hydrostatic pressure against the foundation are extracted and dried, and the path from the ground is identified so the loss does not repeat. Groundwater and basement seepage are extracted and dried only after the path from the soil is identified — a wall, a slab, a drain, or a failed sump. Drying the interior without stopping that path returns the same water to the same floor.
Frequently asked questions
There is a ceiling stain and the only recent weather was hail.
Those are almost certainly the same event separated by weeks. Hail can bruise or fracture a covering without visibly opening it, and the next intense cell drives water through the weakened area. Because the interior symptom arrives later, the two get treated separately and the roof claim is missed. Having the roof looked at after a hail event, rather than after a stain appears, prevents the interior work entirely.
Everyone in the neighborhood is getting a new roof at once.
That is what uniform construction plus a regional hail event produces. The coverings all went on within a few years, they are the same age and condition, and one storm reaches all of them. It also means roofing capacity is committed for months, so the interval between damage and repair is longer than usual, and a temporary cover matters more than it would if a contractor could come next week.
Should we keep sprinklers away from the foundation?
Yes, and it is one of the few pieces of near-universal advice along the Front Range. Claystone here swells when wetted, and foundations are built assuming the backfill stays relatively dry. Irrigation against the wall keeps that soil wet continuously rather than occasionally, which drives movement that shows up years later as cracks and sticking doors. Moving heads back several feet costs almost nothing.
