Learn More About Basement Leaking and Flooding

Homeowners love to update and remodel their houses, yet so many completely forget about the basement. This is much more than just painting or other cosmetic fixes. Waterproofing a basement is highly recommended because our area is prone to basement leaking and full-out basement floods. These damp conditions lead to mold problems, as well as structural damage.

Toxic mold can grow right in your very own home. This is probably the best reason to consider waterproofing. This mold is actually found in many basements that are not waterproofed. Most home owners do not know how fast mold grows in damp, humid environments. In around 24 to 48 hours, toxic black mold can grow in your basement under the proper conditions. Being exposed to this mold is a serious health issue!

Beyond you and your family’s health, it is a good economic decision. A flooded basement can cost thousands more than having it waterproofed ahead of time, in the form of structural damage, ruined items in the basement, the loss of value in your house, and higher electric bills. Yes, cracks and seeps in your foundation cause your monthly bills to raise because your heat escapes!
