It cannot be said enough that you must waterproof your basement. Here are some reasons that basement waterproofing is crucial in any home:
Mold Prevention
When your basement is exposed to moisture or humidity, it creates an ideal area for mold and mildew growth. Mold growth in your basement can create serious issues, including health issues. Mold can cause serious illness, respiratory infections, asthma, and more. Mold spores spread rapidly, so it is essential to prevent mold by waterproofing your basement.
Increase your home value
A wet basement will reduce the value of your home. If you decide to sell your house, you could fail your home inspection due to moisture in your basement. Even if you do pass inspection, potential buyers may no longer be willing to pay the offered price. Waterproofing your basement could save you money in the long run and save you time and effort.
Reduce Energy Costs
Waterproofing your house will also help you save money on your energy bills. A warm basement with cracks will make your home more challenging to cool during summer and harder to heat in the winter. You will save money overall by investing in waterproofing your basement.
