Water forming on the pipes in your basement is a result of condensation. This happens when there is a difference between the temperature of the air surrounding the pipes and the surface of the pipe.

If the pipe insulation is in good condition, and there is little or no chance of it being disturbed, it is probably best to leave it in place. If the pipe insulation is slightly damaged, it can usually be repaired or encapsulated using various methods. Often, there is less risk repairing the material than removing it. EPA does not regulate the removal and disposal of asbestos containing material from privately owned single family residences.

This type of discharge is usually from a basement sump pump that is removing water from the foundation drain. It is acceptable to discharge to the lawn provided that the water rapidly infiltrates into the lawn and does not pond. It is not acceptable to let the water run to the curb.

water enters the Basement De-Watering System?, it rises until it is able to flow to the drainage point.

This prevents water from accumulating and standing in the system. Top

The homeowner pays for the installation of the water and/or sewer. The homebuilder, or developer, initially pays for the installation and then passes the cost on the homebuyer in the cost of the home. These costs include their share of the costs of the sewer piping under the streets throughout the neighborhood.

If a rattling or banging noise is heard from water pipes, it may be a 'water hammer' or 'hammer'. This is caused when you suddenly turn off a water flow (i.e. a dishwasher, a clothes washer, a toilet, or a hand faucet). This sudden shutting off of the flow sends a pressure or shock wave down the water line causing the pipes to rattle or bang. Over time this repeated shock wave can damage pipes and weaken pipe joints.

If the house is in a development in which the Township is holding a performance bond, then the grading of the yard will be checked to ensure that the land is not graded toward the house. This is the extent of the Engineering Division's involvement. If the problem is due to high groundwater or defects in the basement walls, the homeowner should contact the Construction Division , or their warranty company if the house is more than one year old.
