Have A Dry Basement

A dry basement is a wonderful thing for many reasons:

• It’s healthy – Mold and mildew love to find damp places to grow and release their harmful spores into your home’s air.  A dry basement means mold and mildew have no where to grow
• It smells nice – In wet basements, moisture, mold and mildew create unpleasant, musty odours - but, not in a dry basement.
• It’s clean –Water leaking into a basement from outside brings with it all the dirt, debris and insects from the soil around your basement.
• It’s safe for your belongings and renovations –Water in your basement can damage your belongings, furniture, drywall, wood paneling and studs. But, as long as your basement stays dry, you are safe.

Unfortunately, there are many ways moisture can get into your basement and keeping it dry is a challenge.

• Concrete cracks – The settling of your home and the subtle shifting of the ground around it will inevitably cause your concrete basement walls and floor to crack. When it does, moisture will leak in from the soil outside and you will have a wet basement.
• Condensation – In an improperly insulated basement, when the warm air inside your home is exposed to cold walls, condensation forms and so does a moisture problem.
• Plumbing leaks – Another moisture problem that is almost inevitable.

So, the question is, what can you do to keep moisture out and enjoy all the benefits of a dry basement?
