Likely causes, most common first
- Clogged gutters or downspouts — the 90% answer
- Gutters pulled out of slope so water pools mid-run
- Undersized gutters/downspouts for the roof area (chronic overflow at the same valley)
Do this right now
- Overflowing gutters are a basement-water machine: extend downspouts 6+ feet from the foundation TODAY
- Watch during rain: overflow everywhere = clog/slope; one spot = design
DIY or call a pro?
Cleaning is DIY if you're ladder-safe and one story. Re-sloping, re-hanging, adding a downspout, or fixing the fascia behind failed gutters — that's ours, and it's the cheapest basement-waterproofing you'll ever buy.
