What Salem Basements Deal With
Salem was founded by Quakers in 1806 and many of its homes date from the 1800s. Many sit on sandstone or fieldstone foundations, laid long before anyone thought about waterproofing.
Stone foundations leak at the mortar joints, and the old mortar often turns to sand. Water seeps through the walls and across the floor after storms. Interior drain tile with a wall barrier is the most practical fix, since sealing an old stone wall from outside is hard. Some walls also need repointing or bracing first.
Newer homes on the edges of Salem deal with the usual issues: leaking cracks, sump pumps near the end of their lifespan and yards that slope the wrong way.
