One of the most common problems that homeowners have is water in the basement. While it’s pretty hard to miss puddles of standing water, there are other, more subtle signs of water intrusion that you should be on the lookout for. In this article, we’ll go over a few of these signs so you can more easily determine whether you need basement waterproofing.
- Even if you don’t have obvious puddles, you may still notice signs of a moisture issue in the form of stains. If you notice that your walls or floors are developing water stains, then you probably need basement waterproofing. While it may be possible to address the moisture issue and prevent further problems, waterproofing services from our team here at Ample Epoxy Systems will provide an additional layer of protection that will let you rest easy.
- Another sign that you may need basement waterproofing is persistent condensation on your basement windows or doors. Condensation is a result of a highly humid environment, which means that moisture is getting into your basement somehow. Our experts can identify exactly how that moisture is entering your property and take the necessary steps to prevent it.
- Damp Smell. The third indicator that we at Ample Epoxy Systems will cover here is a persistent damp or musty smell. You may smell the water itself, or something like the smell of mold that may have been growing in the damp environment. If your basement smells damp no matter what you do or how you clean it, we recommend giving us a call to arrange for our basement waterproofing services.
