Why you shouldn't ignore repairing a wet basement
Residents of a surprising number of homes in the Toronto / GTA region have wet basements, and are making no effort to remedy the situation. In case you are one of them, you should know that there are some compelling reasons why you shouldn’t ignore repairing a wet basement. Never mind that you don’t think you need the space, and the rest of the house seems “just fine”. Ignoring a wet basement can do major harm, both to your health and to your home.
Health is the more important consideration, so we will look first at that aspect of the problem. Wet basements tend to harbor mildew / mold / fungus. The spores of such plants are known to constitute major health hazards. When you ignore the basement, those spores find their way into your living space and can be seriously detrimental – in some cases, they may even result in fatalities. Additionally, neglected, wet basements are often invaded by rats, mice, and other vermin. A wet, neglected basement can seriously compromise family health and happiness.
Although you may not notice until it is too late, a wet basement is symptomatic of wet ground under your house. Saturated soil is structurally unstable. When water leeches through concrete, it carries minerals with it. Over time, this process weakens the concrete, leading to premature failure of your foundation. Unfortunately, by the time you see the evidence; your house will already be damaged by sagging, cracked foundations. The resulting structural damage can pose unnecessary and expensive problems.
These are just a few of the reasons why you shouldn’t ignore repairing a wet basement. If you need help to evaluate and solve your basement problems, call the professionals at AquaResist Inc.
