Groundwater & Basement Water Intrusion in Orem, UT
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
Two houses a mile apart and nothing in common.
The bench between them is the explanation. Up on the gravel water goes down and away readily; on the old lake floor below it sits close to the surface the year round. Those are two unrelated problems needing two unrelated remedies, and the boundary is invisible from the surface. A pit dug on the actual lot during the wet season settles which side it is on.
There is a wet line partway up the slope with nothing above it.
Gravel passes water down until it reaches something it cannot get through, and from there the flow turns and travels the top of that layer until the hillside runs out. That is why a seep shows along a consistent height rather than pooling at the bottom. Nothing done below it helps; the flow has to be intercepted above the building and taken around.
It is not a flood. It is two months of steady arrival.
Which asks for something different from what equipment is usually chosen against. There is no real peak; there is a moderate inflow that continues for most of two months while the range gives up its snow. Endurance and a second unit behind the first matter far more than raw capacity, and that is frequently the cheaper specification as well.
