Waterproofing Solutions That Prevent Mold, Mildew, Flooding, And Foundation Problems
For cost-effective waterproofing solutions, contact West Foundation Services to ensure your basement remains healthy and in proper upkeep. Waterproofing makes certain that you are keeping water out of your basement and preventing water intrusion. These vital preventative measures will protect your home from mold and will keep out pests.
Signs Of Basement Water Damage
How do you know when you have developing moisture issues or a concern in the basement? Some common symptoms of water damage include:
Standing Water
Standing water not only causes damage to the structural integrity of your home over time, but also leads to the cultivation of mold and other unwanted associated issues.
Wet/Damp Basement Floor
Mold and dampness in your basement can be signs of structural damage, as well as unwanted odors and pests.
Musty Odors
Attracted to dark, damp environments, mold often makes its way into basements where the spores spread throughout the home. If your basement is consistently damp due to waterproofing issues, then mold is likely growing inside. If you notice dark green or black patches on surfaces in your basement, then it is likely due to a leak or water damage somewhere in your home.
Leaky Walls Or Windows
Windows or sweating walls that trap water and introduce moisture into the basement
Sump Pump Issues
Sump pumps are a vital piece of equipment in your basement to keep water out and prevent your basement from flooding. If your sump pump fails to activate or becomes clogged with debris, your home could quickly become flooded.

Sump Pump Failure
