basement floor wet

[vivina99]

My basement floor is finished on carpet. Two days ago, I found some place is wet from carpet until concrete floor. Does any body know how it is?
Many thanks

It's a complex issue. Tell you my case happend a few years ago.

A few years ago my basement was flooding after a heavy rain in later winter. I discussed with professionals in HomeDepot and got many suggestions.

After dried, I opened the wood board wall, but didn't find any crack. The flooding reason should be there was too much water around the outside of a conner during the rain. The key point is to avoid that and to drain the rain water far away as quickly as possible. So I had a professional to fixed the leaking gutter. Then I changed the underground PVC pipe with quality ABS pipe as per recommendation. After that, the problem never happens again.

Not a lot because I did most job myself. I spent $100 for the gutter. The ABS pipe costed me ~$100.

If no crack, things would be easier and cheaper. Otherwise you have to find a professinal to fix cracks at cost ~$1000.

Thanks a lot.
I should ask HomeDepot first.
I think the floor has no crack. After I remove the carpet and insulation I used a dehumidefier to flew and floor goes dry. May water comes upper (someone dropped water)?

水不一定是从slab漏进来的，所以slab上面没有裂缝并不能说明没有漏水。

找漏水的源头，可能是个很费时费力费钱的事。如果确信水是从上面滴下来的，建议先从水管找起。水管漏水的地方，不一定是在你看见滴水的地方。

若能说得详细点，也许能想出个简单的办法找到毛病。

Because wet area is at basement bathroom door, maybe my daughter drop the water after bathing. There is insulation underside of carpet. It is not easy to dry if insulation wet.
Are you living in Kanata? I am at Katimavik.
Many thanks

嘿，说不定是熟人？

地毯下面的underpad，的确是不大容易干。只要它在慢慢变干，就先别管它了。因为要是它在变干，说明现在不漏。在这个时候找漏水的原因，也许不大容易。

常注意这个地方，看看有什么变化。希望是不小心洒上去的水而不是哪儿漏了。

you are absolutely right.
Thank you very much.
