The most common form of damage in a home is water damage because it can be caused by anything from rain, seepage, and humidity to plumbing leaks, overflows, and burst pipes. Basements are especially vulnerable to water damage because water can seep in through cracks in the foundation and poor heating or cooling can cause a buildup of moisture or condensation. It is estimated that around 98% of basements experience water damage at some point.
Flooding or excess water in a basement can cause a range of problems including structural damage and mold growth which makes basement waterproofing important.
Advantages of Foundation Sealing
- Waterproofing your basement helps prevent mold growth by reducing the moisture level.
- Effective waterproofing reduces the humidity in your home to keep your heating and cooling bills at acceptable levels.
- Water seepage through the foundation of your home can result in significant structural damage by affecting joints and edges where the flooring and walls meet. The structural damage may include foundation cracks and buckling of the walls and flooring that can eventually threaten the structural integrity of your home.
