“A wet basement is something thousands of homeowners contend with but none look forward to fixing. A wet basement can decrease a home’s value. Standing water in a basement can also pose health hazards, such as mold and mildew growth, and can prove a breeding ground for insects that like moist conditions.There are a number of techniques used to combat basement water issues, but waterproofing a basement is generally not a do-it-yourself job. A waterproofing company can help homeowners ascertain what method will be best for the type of water issue they have.”
