Make your Wet Basement Dry

Wet basements are a homeowner’s nightmare. There are few worse feelings than stepping onto your basement carpet or floor and feeling cold wetness instead of dry warmth.

Wet Basement = Lots of Problems A wet basement automatically means you have a number of problems:

  1. You will need to find a way to get rid of the water
  2. Carpets, walls, and belongings need to be dried and cleaned
  3. Your belongings might be damaged or destroyed
  4. You need to find the source of the moisture and fix it


Unseen Problems = Unseen DamageIf there is a silver lining to a flooded basement, at least you know you have wet basement problem. Often, moisture can build up in your basement from a number of unseen sources:

  • Slow leaks – cracks in foundation walls will allow water to leak in from outside
  • Condensation – warm, moist air comes in contact with cold basement walls and plumbing to form moisture
  • Plumbing leaks – aging or faulty plumbing can leak and cause moisture problems


Unseen problems might be worse than known problems because, if the damage they cause is left unchecked, it could become a larger problem:

  • Wood rot – damp wood attracts bacteria that feeds on the wood, slowly weakening the wood that supports your walls or floors
  • Mold & Mildew – spores are constantly present in the air but are not a real problem until they find a nice damp spot to germinate – then they become a health hazard throughout your home
  • Wall damage – ongoing leaks in walls slowly make cracks larger
