98% of basements get water damage. Average claim: $13,954. Most is preventable. The 7 mistakes turning small issues into financial disasters.

7 Mistakes:

  1. Ignoring signs (musty smell, efflorescence): $250 fix becomes $2,000-10,000
  2. DIY patching: Redirects pressure, doesn't solve it
  3. No maintenance: $200/year vs $10,500-76,000 failure
  4. Bad drainage: Need 6" slope, downspouts 6-10 feet away
  5. Interior-only fixes: Bailing vs plugging the leak
  6. Draining too fast: Remove 1/3 depth/day max or walls collapse
  7. No assessment: Hidden moisture needs pro detection
