When it Becomes Time for Basement Waterproofing

Mon, September 19 2011, 00:00:00 -500

Moisture and water leaks can overturn your basement and result in property damage, bad smells, foul odors, mold, mildew and ongoing repairs. The best way to save money and avoid these ongoing issues is to prevent moisture from entering your basement.

Protecting Your Biggest Investment

Your home is your biggest and most valuable investment, and depending on whether you plan to resell your home or remain in your home for a lifetime, basement waterproofing may be right for you. Investing in basement waterproofing is not only a smart and valuable choice, but a useful decision for protecting your entire home. Research has shown that proper waterproofing will add valuable living and storage space, as well as an increase in the overall value of your home.

If you choose not to invest in basement waterproofing, water may continue to seep in through doors, windows, walls, floors and unsealed vents; damaging your home and costing you thousands of dollars in repairs.

Prevent Mold

Regardless how you plan or are using your basement, the space lies under the ground, making it highly susceptible to water intrusion—making for mold, mildew, dry rot and structural damage.

Mold can form just about anywhere; walls, floors, fabrics, draperies, carpeting and much, much more. Mold requires a source of moisture to grow and warm temperatures to thrive, and organic material to eat. It is very important for homeowners to take special precautions to protect their home and ensure a dry basement.

Although waterproofing your basement is a good decision, it will not completely eliminate mold and mildew from forming. Water can drip from leaky pipes, a water heater can leak, and a problem from upstairs can drain into the basement. These can result in mold and mildew development. As a rule of thumb, always quickly repair any leaks to reduce the risk of developing mold and mildew.

Basement waterproofing not only protects your basement, protects the additional living and storage space you created in your home, but it also protects the overall health of you and your family. Mold spores can develop and spread quickly, and if inhaled can cause mild to severe topical allergic reactions; intensify breathing difficulties and the effects of asthma in some adults and children.

Furthermore, basement waterproofing is best placed in the hands of a professional who can protect your home, health and pocketbook. It’s important to understand the magnitude of even the smallest, simplest mistake, as it can put your health and home at risk, and cost you thousands of dollars in repairs.

Protect Your Foundation

Your basement plays a very important role in the structural integrity of your foundation. In many cases, the foundation is made of porous concrete. These little holes can absorb water if the surface is not properly sealed. Which means that over time, water can seep into and expand, cause cracking, chipping and crumbling of the foundation. If this occurs it can put your home in serious danger, waterproofing is the best option to prevent this from occurring.

Solution

The best and most effective way to protect your home from moisture is to contact a basement waterproofing expert. A basement waterproofing expert will examine your basement and recommend the best and most cost efficient way to solve the problem.

Unwanted Water in Basement Causes Health and Structure Problems

Mon, September 19 2011, 00:00:00 -500

Some homeowners tend to be inexperienced when it comes to crawl space moisture and taking preventative measures to properly waterproof the space. Unfortunately, the effects from dampness and moisture can take a toll on your health, crawl space, above ground living areas and your home's overall structure. This could cost you thousands in repairs.

Most homeowners are inexperienced and believe that doors, windows, and vents are responsible for all moisture problems in your home, but that isn’t always the case. Factors such as dampness, moisture and wetness in your crawl space are the source and can cause structural weakening.

Structural Weakening

Do you have questions or concerns about structural weakening and your home? If you fall into this category, do not fear. Routine examinations can protect your home from structural weakening. A majority of newly constructed homes have structural problems or weakening. Here are some signs to look out for: uneven floors, warped floors, cracks on the interior walls, and rotted or damaged floor joists and floor beams. These conditions are harsh and can take a toll on your home's overall structure.

Sagging, warped or uneven floors caused by moisture in your crawl space are very common problems among homes. If you believe these describe your home, make sure to take action immediately. It's more cost friendly to make small repairs than to wait and be forced to replace an entire foundation.

Bad Smells and Odors

A damp environment is perfect for wild animals, insects and pests to thrive and later die—making for some extremely unhealthy and destructive conditions. A crawl space that isn’t sealed and protected against moisture can develop mold and mildew issues. Black mold and dry rot can even develop!

There are several different forms of mold that can quickly invade your above ground living levels. A majority of the time when a home is occupied with bad smells and odors, it is a sure sign your crawl space has a hidden problem with mold.

The best and most effective way to rid your home and crawl space from bad smells and odors is to schedule an appointment with a waterproofing expert. It is also a good idea to perform routine monthly or bi-monthly inspections looking for mold, dry rot or hollowed wood. By taking measures to protect your home and crawl space from these elements, you will protect your home and your health. A waterproofing expert will identify the source of the water intrusion and provide the necessary repairs and encapsulation.

Solution

The best and most effective way to protect your home from moisture, structural weakening, bad smells and odors is to contact a certified crawl space contractor. A certified contractor will complete an on-site inspection, provide a professional consultation, provide a free estimate and recommend the best and most cost efficient way to solve the problem. This expert will also discuss your options and give you plenty of time to make the best decision to remove moisture from your crawl space.
