Backfilled soil directly surrounding foundation walls remains looser than undisturbed native clay soil, creating a perimeter basin that collects roof runoff and snowmelt against your basement walls.
Spring thaws and intense summer cloudbursts raise local groundwater beneath floor slabs, pushing water upward through shrinkage cracks and perimeter cove joints.
