Understanding Your Basement
Water poses a constant risk to your basement.
Moisture or water problems can lead to mold and mildew growth, rotted wood, or damaged belongings. You might notice damp walls, let them dry, and think the problem is gone. However, hidden water damage or mold can remain behind drywall, under flooring, or in other out-of-sight areas.
Basement waterproofing is essential to keeping your basement—and your entire home—safe and healthy. Don’t let hidden moisture turn into a costly problem.
How to Tell If Your Basement Needs Waterproofing
Sometimes, basement water problems are obvious (like a flood!). But often, the signs are more subtle. Don’t miss these common indicators that your basement isn’t watertight:
Step 1: Use Your Senses to Check for Water Damage
Start by using your sense of smell. Does your basement have a persistent, musty odor? Even without visible moisture, a musty smell is a strong indicator of water damage. Next, check for visible signs of moisture, such as damp spots, standing water, or powdery white deposits called efflorescence on your walls.
Step 2: Inspect Your Walls and Floors for Cracks
Visually inspect your basement walls and floors. Water often finds its way in through cracks. Look for any cracks in the foundation, no matter how small. Cracks don’t heal themselves, and even hairline fissures can allow water to seep through, leading to more significant damage.
Step 3: Look for Mold Growth
Finally, check for mold. Where there’s moisture, mold often follows. If you spot green, white, or black mold growth on your basement walls or floor, it’s a serious health and structural concern. Mold is a clear sign of a significant moisture issue that requires immediate attention and professional waterproofing.
