- No
residential waterproofing eventually
means water infiltration
If
you home doesn’t have proper residential
waterproofing, then water will find a way
in, if it hasn’t already. Did you know you
could have water already getting in that you don’t
know about? Many people are totally unaware of the
problem until something major happens like cracks
in the walls, or you have a flooded basement. This
is not the time to find out you have a water problem,
because most of the time it’s in the middle
of the night and/or in the midst of a storm. It’s
best to get ahead of this potential problem and
stop it before it starts, nip it in the bud so to
speak.

- No
residential waterproofing
plus water infiltration means mold and mildew
This
stuff is not only annoying when it attacks your
personal items and building materials in your home,
it is potentially harmful. First off, if you have
an allergy to mold and/or mildew you know you can’t
be around the stuff. Second, even if you don’t
have an allergy now, prolonged exposure to enough
mold can cause you to develop an allergy. Also,
some molds give off harmful chemicals and there
is some evidence to link them to health problems
for your lungs and yes even your brain.
- No
residential waterproofing plus
water infiltration plus mold and mildew means structural
damage
As
if the health problems weren’t enough, your
house itself will begin to experience structural
damage from the water infiltration. Mold can also
speed this process along because it can eat away
at the wooden studs in your walls. This is a situation
you want to stop before it begins with residential
waterproofing.
- No
residential waterproofing plus
water infiltration plus mold and mildew plus structural
damage means lowered property values and eventually
having your home condemned.
Without
residential waterproofing and after
the above problems have made their way into your
home, it just keeps getting worse. The water
damage and structural damage will lower your property
values and you’ll be faced with either an
expensive repair job or selling your house for less
than it was worth when you started. Let the problems
go on too long and your house can become so damage
it will be unlivable.
