Not taking care of this type of moisture problem could lead to mold and mildew.

One of the biggest areas of homeowners struggle with moisture problems is in their basements.

In general, what usually happens is that concrete simply develops cracks and fissures, so that water is allowed to seep in over time. This happens naturally over the course of a home's lifetime, simply because of structural changes, temperature changes, and so on. In addition, homes especially have problems with basement leakage in the spring, when heavy rains occur and soil can hold only so much water. When the water can't be absorbed into the soil anymore, it finds its way into your basement, through the small cracks and fissures that naturally occur there over time.Methods often used to keep your basement dry1.Installing a sub for drainage systemYou can have a sub floor drainage system installed along your floor's perimeter, but this can have its own problems, simply because the drain can become clogged over time, resulting in backup and -- you guessed it -- moisture problems. In addition, this type of system keeps walls dry, but can leave large gaps at the edge of floors; these can cause their own problems, including capturing debris and dirt, which then becomes unsightly.What to do insteadProfessional waterproofing services can instead install solutions like piping systems that can "try out your basement" and waterproof your basement without worrying about clogs, gaps, or other unsightly problems. These systems are designed so that they'll never clog; instead, any excess water is directed through the system to a type of drainage system, including a sub pump system, so that the water restraint safely away from your basement, and the house in general, so that it can't cause damage.These and other solutions to your moisture problems are available to you at reasonable cost.
