Know the Signs

What Usually Comes Before a Flooded Basement

Catching one of these early usually means a smaller repair bill and a lot less stress for Cato homeowners.

01

Musty Basement Smell

Odor is often the very first clue Cato homeowners notice, well before any water is visible.

02

New Cracks in the Foundation

A crack that wasn't there last year is worth a look before it becomes an active leak point.

03

Powdery Residue on Walls

It's easy to mistake efflorescence for harmless dust, but it actually signals active moisture movement.

04

Pump Cycling Constantly

If your pump only shuts off for a few minutes at a time, it's worth having it checked before it fails outright.

05

Wall Leaning Inward

This is one sign we tell Cato customers never to wait on โ€” wall movement tends to progress, not resolve on its own.

06

Bubbling Paint Near the Baseboard

These upstairs clues usually show up months after the basement moisture problem actually started.
