Problem: Water SeepageAnyone who has mopped up a wet basement knows the damage that water leaves in its wake. In addition to obvious problems such as peeling paint, ruin of household goods, damp musty smells and loss of valuable storage space, water can cause damage more slowly and in less obvious ways. Damp timbers (wood joists and beams) can warp and bow and are susceptible to the fungi that cause mold, mildew and dry rot. Also, water in a basement makes any improvement or remodelling impossible.
The
battle against moisture is the most common basement problem faced
by homeowners. It can range from seepage through the pores of
walls and floors to water gushing through cracks, construction
joints (e.g. where the floor and walls meet) or structural defects.
In spite of this, most basements have been built with little or
no attention to preventing moisture problems.
