There are several signs to keep an eye on if you suspect any leaks in the basement. The type of soil your foundation is built on may not be the big issue. However, some types of soil may be harmful to the stability of your house than others, and can result in dampness in your basement.
When you build a house for the first time, soil will contract and expand to a certain point where it will sit still. This is a process called settling, and can go on for many years. If your home’s foundation sits on silt or clay soil, you are more prone to leaking problems as your house settles.
