Know the Signs

What Usually Comes Before a Flooded Basement

Most Alton calls didn't start with a flood โ€” they started with one of these small signs weeks or months earlier.

01

Persistent Mildew Smell

A musty smell usually means moisture is already moving through your Alton basement, even if the floor looks bone dry.

02

Hairline Wall Cracks

A crack that wasn't there last year is worth a look before it becomes an active leak point.

03

Efflorescence on Concrete

Efflorescence is a reliable early sign that water is moving through your Alton foundation wall right now.

04

Sump Pump Running Nonstop

A Alton sump pump that never rests is usually undersized or nearing the end of its life.

05

Visible Wall Movement

A wall that's starting to bow is a structural issue on top of a water issue โ€” this jumps to the front of our Alton schedule.

06

Warped Flooring Upstairs

Peeling paint near the floor upstairs is one of the last signs Alton homeowners connect to a basement problem.
