Since the winter, a water pipe was broken outside(near the wall) last weekend. We were out, so may spurt water for one or two days. When we came back, turned off the water, we saw below things. We thought no
damage, but want to ask here to make sure.
1. the outside wall were all wet. The outside wall is stucco.
2. the water pipe was out from the top of basement. I don't see anything
in the interior of first floor. So I just need worry about basement, not above
area, right?
3. the sump pump in the basement was working. good, right?
4. the basement was unfinished, concret, have insulations for above half wall.
The basement wall and insulation were wet all wet, driped some water to the floor, not much.
5. I did nothing. Two days later, went to basement, find everything(wall, insulation) was dry.
Based on these, can I just say there was no any damage since this accident?
Any potential problem I didn't realize?
Sounds like the excessive water under pressure pushed allthe dirt away and allowed the water to seep into the wall. A very unusual situation. It does sound like the wall and interior are fine. It's all dry and no visible damage to the stucco or interior.
i think your right...no damage.
