What to look for
A basement water problem can be evident
in many different forms - some more serious than others. Some
conditions can cause significant
damage to your home and some
have even been thought to cause
health related problems due to the mold and mildew
that can develop as a result. The following signs may indicate that
you have a problem:
●
Cracked floors or walls
● Warped paneling
● Wall movement
● Damp or musty odors
● Rusted metals and appliances
● Peeling paint on masonry surfaces
● Visible signs of water seepage
● Crumbling mortar joints
● Rotting wood
Regardless of the problem, the
sooner it's dealt with the better. Waiting can only make it worse.
