Excess moisture around your house can cause a myriad of problems. The only real solution is taking preventative action. This is where basement waterproofing services come into play!
The cost of waterproofing a basement isn’t as much as you might think, and the peace of mind it brings knowing that you and your family are living in a home free from excess moisture and potential health-related issues is priceless.
Here are the top five signs that your home is in need of basement waterproofing.
Your Basement Stinks!
If you notice that your basement or crawlspace has an unusual odor of dampness you may have mold and mildew. That “musty” smell is most likely the presence of millions of microorganisms or mold who are enjoying the damp, high humidity environment in your basement.
Starting to Feel Ill?
The presence of mold in the home is one of the most silent health hazards you can face. Mold can cause health problems that range from itching eyes, sneezing and coughing to serious allergic reactions, asthma attacks and even permanent lung damage.
If someone in your house starts having allergies or falling ill with flu-like symptoms, you should check your basement and crawl space, as this could be triggered by growing mold and mildew as a result of moisture.
The Writing is on the Walls
Though moisture seepage in your basement may seem initially undetectable, the writing may actually be on the walls, particularly painted walls. When there are water issues, the paint on your basement walls will start to peel or become discolored due to extreme moisture.
Puddles of Water
If you see small puddles of water or water stains in the basement, there may be water seeping into the home. Check the basement after a big storm or long periods of rain for any puddles or patches of water.
Your Foundation or Walls are Cracking
Heaving and cracking of cement foundation and wall surfaces are serious problems. Not only can water easily enter your home through these foundation cracks, but the structural integrity of your home may be compromised. Years of untreated excess water around the perimeter of your house may often be the cause.
