Lasting Protection from Water Damage
If your basement in Delaware is humid, keeping it dry is crucial for several reasons. Moisture in the basement indicates that the ground around your foundation is holding too much water, which stresses your basement walls and can cause cracks. These cracks lead to even more water intrusion and bigger foundation problems. A damp basement can also make your home harder to cool, encourage mold and mildew growth, attract dust mites, and damage items like paint, wallpaper, and furniture.
Signs You Have Basement Water Issues
Flooding, even on an infrequent basis, means that you need our basement waterproofing services. But flooding is not the only indication that you have a moisture problem. Damp air and mustiness are telltale signs. Water stains and efflorescence are as well. Mold and mildew indicate a moisture problem, and standing water, cracking concrete, and rotted wood are all indications of a serious issue.
Standing Water
Standing water that is not due to a plumbing leak is caused by water accumulation near the foundation that is seeping into the basement through cracks, joints, window wells, porous concrete, and so forth.
Water Stains
Water stains can appear on basement walls, floors, and ceilings and are an indication that water is getting in through sweating or due to problems with either the foundation or the home’s drainage system.
Cracking Concrete
Concrete that is cracked or crumbling suggests that water is getting into the basement, and these imperfections are often caused by hydrostatic pressure that forces the water through the concrete and into the basements.
Mold and Mildew
Basements are often the perfect breeding ground for mold because mold spores grow fast in environments that are hot, dark, and moist. Mold can cause serious damage to various aspects of your home and is also a serious health risk.
Efflorescence
When water in your basement evaporates, it leaves behind minerals. These minerals create chalky texture on walls that is referred to as efflorescence, which is easy to clean but which will continue coming back without waterproofing.
Rotted Wood
Rotted wood in a basement is quite serious as it means that the water damage is extensive and has been occurring for some time. As part of the waterproofing process, it is necessary to remove and replace all rotted wood.
