Basement Waterproofing

Basements are a common source of water damage and mold growth in the home. Basement waterproofing is an easy way to prevent this.

Common wet basement problems include leaky pipes, cracks in foundation walls, inadequate drainage systems, and high humidity levels.

Fixing these issues requires regular maintenance such as sealing cracks and checking for leaks, as well as effective waterproofing solutions.

Additionally, keeping humidity levels low can help to reduce condensation that leads to mold growth.

Taking steps to address wet basement problems is essential to ensuring your home remains safe from potential health hazards and structural damage.

Basement Leaks & Flooding

When the ground around the foundation becomes full of rainwater, it exerts pressure against your basement walls. Over enough time, the water finds its way into your basement. Maryland Mold and Waterproofing will seal existing leaks and take measures to prevent new occurrences of water infiltration, thus keeping your basement safe and dry.

Mold, Humidity & Musty Odors

Basements tend to be humid, dark places, prone to mold growth. These fungi release spores into the air, which rises to your living space and enters your respiratory system, causing illnesses and allergies. Maryland Mold and Waterproofing will clean your basement of any mold present and install a dehumidifier to keep humidity under control and mold out of your basement.

Wall Cracks & Bowing

Another consequence of watery soil around the foundation is the formation of wall cracks and bowing. Cracks allow water, radon gas and even critters into your home, and bowing walls compromise the structural integrity of the house. The specialists at Maryland Mold and Waterproofing are trained to repair and stabilize basement walls.
