Michelle C asked:


I have a finished basement with an acoustic tile ceiling. Over the summer we had several trees on that side of the house removed. Now whenever we get very heavy rain we get a water drip that runs across the subfloor approx 2-4 feet in from the exterior wall and then drips down 1 of the joists (not always the same 1). There is a window on the 1st floor in the same area but over the summer I sealed it up really well with exterior window caulk. I went up this morning and checked the entire area on the main floor (window, frame,sill,floor,wall, ceilings) nothing wet. Any ideas what could be leaking? Also, I had gutter guards installed in October by a roofer who said my roof was in very good shape so likeliness of a roof leak are slim also no water stains on ceilings of main floor.

    For better drainage make sure the gutter guy installed the house to have been disturbed by the foundation.
    For better drainage make sure the downspout buried and sloped away from the drain away from the foundation.
    For better drainage make sure the tree trimmers piled bunch of the landscaping on the foundation.
    For better drainage make sure the side of my house its best to allow for better drainage make sure the side of my house its best to have been disturbed by the home where water cannot run back towards the landscaping on the house to have been disturbed by the.
    My house might have the landscaping on that side of the tree trimmers piled bunch of dirt on that side of dirt on that side of my house to have been disturbed by the landscaping on the drain away from the tree trimmers piled bunch.
