Why You Need to Waterproof Your Basement

When we think of a basement, we think of cold, humid, and damp. Water damage to a home or basement can be extremely costly to repair but a very easy thing to prevent. Continue to read why you should waterproof your basement.

Preventative Measures for Homeowners

One of the best preventative measures you can take for your home and your family’s health is to waterproof your home. Concrete is a commonly used material for homes and unfortunately, concrete is a porous material that allows water vapor to come through. As a result, these spaces are often damp and humid.

Problems You Can Have

If unchecked, your home can have problems that can affect both your family’s health and the health of your home. Black mold can form which can cause lasting effects on your family’s health. Property value can decrease due to water damage and you may even find some decay in your appliances and furnishings.

What to Look For

To make sure you don’t run into any of these problems, it is important to check the following places for water seepage:

  • Flooring
  • Wall cracks
  • Window seals
  • Joints
  • Vents
  • Openings

When assessing these points in your home, be sure to look out for any sort of mold, rotting wood, peeling paint, or spots that are damp or moist. Also take the time to check downspouts and gutters. To ensure your home is prepared to weather all kinds of weather, check and make sure gutters and downspouts are cleared and not bringing water into your home. Poor installation can lead to water seepage as well, especially when gutters are filled with rain or melted snow.
