Lasting Protection from Water Damage
Whether your basement in Ephrata, PA tends to get a bit humid or experiences frequent flooding, it's essential to keep it dry and moisture-free. When moisture is present, it usually means the ground around your foundation is oversaturated, putting excessive pressure on your basement walls. Over time, this pressure can cause cracks and allow even more water in. Beyond structural concerns, excess moisture can make your home harder to cool, foster mold and mildew growth, attract dust mites, and cause damage to paint, wallpaper, and furniture.
Signs You Have Basement Water Issues
If your basement floods, even occasionally, it's a clear sign you need our waterproofing services. However, flooding isn't the only warning of a moisture issue. Damp air and a musty odor are strong indicators, as are water stains and efflorescence. The presence of mold and mildew is a clear signal of moisture, while standing water, cracked concrete, and rotted wood point to a more serious problem.
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.
