A lot of Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana homeowners may not understand why they should have their leaky basement repaired. They may not have a finished basement, and for this reason, they think they can overlook what goes on in this area of their home. The fact is, regardless of how much time you spend in your basement, if it leaks, you need to have the problem taken care of immediately – before it gets worse – and it’s going to get much worse!
We know a lot of homeowners might worry that a wet basement could potentially cost them thousands of dollars to repair. As with most home repairs, the sooner the problem is addressed, the higher the likelihood of being able to utilize the most cost effective solution. In every home and in every situation, Perma-Seal certified consultants and trained technicians will do everything we can to make the entire basement repair and waterproofing process as fast and affordable as possible. We realize that there are other things you’d rather spend your money on, however, protecting the health of your home is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and your family.
So, why exactly should you have that wet basement taken care of ASAP? Basement moisture can cause a multitude of problems for your entire home, and even for your family’s health. With so much on the line, you need to be sure you’re doing everything you can to keep this valuable area of your home dry and healthy. A wet basement or damp, musty crawl space can lead to the development of harmful allergens, gases, mold and bacteria. Mold spores will be released into the air that your family breathes throughout your home. Although you can’t always see it, mold doesn’t just look bad, it can also make your family really sick!
Mold has been known to cause the following health problems:
Asthma attacks
Sinus infections
Skin rashes
Headaches
Fatigue
Coughing
Cold/flu-like symptoms
Basement or crawl space moisture can also do a number to the wooden support beams and floor joists below your home. Anything wood doesn’t like moisture, and your basement leaks can cause these supports and joists to actually start to warp, rot, and deteriorate over time. Needless to say, this can cause a lot of problems for the structural integrity of your entire home!
