Water Damage To Your Basement

The water that enters your home through a cracked foundation does not have to be visible to be harmful to your family. Even a small amount of water that leaks into your home can cause high humidity as it evaporates.

Humid air can dampen parts of your home that are not necessarily near the foundation cracks, such as drywall or personal items. It will also cause mold and fungus to flourish in unseen areas such as under the dirty carpeting in the basement or in the basement ceiling. Mold spores can also cause serious health problems such as asthma and respiratory problems.


The harmful impact on your family is just one of the many reasons that basement waterproofing is needed. Proper basement waterproofing systems in Metro Detroit can stop water from leaking into your home and protect your prized possessions.



Many companies offer free estimates to find out exactly where the water is leaking into your home from. They also can give you the best course of action to limit basement moisture such as basement wall crack repair, installation of dehumidifier, or sump pump installation. Take these simple steps to keep your basement dry, and your family safe.
