A Permanent Solution for Wet Basements
Wet basements and water damage are serious problems in both newer and older homes. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, as many as 25% of all U.S. homes currently leak and up to 85% will experience a leaking basement in their lifetime causing wet basements and the need for repair. The combination of how a home is built and how water behaves makes it almost impossible for a structure not to leak, resulting in wet basements. Amazing, isn't it?
A recurring wet basement can cause a multitude of home damage issues such as wet carpet, mold and mildew, and rotten wood in the sub-flooring. Causes of wet basements include incapable basement waterproofing systems such as french drains that won't drain due to a blockage or a sump pump that doesn't drain properly. The best approach for wet basements is to have a home inspection to determine options to fix the water problems.
