A wet basement brings many problems to homeowners, from property destruction to harmful mold. Residents looking to eliminate their wet basement problem can go to Van Matre Construction, LLC.

 
[Lafayette, 4/12/2018] — Many homeowners face the problem of having a wet basement. The American Society of Home Inspectors, in fact, estimates that 60 percent of U.S. homes have a soggy basement. A wet basement is more than a mere nuisance, as it has serious consequences to residents.

Downsides of Having a Wet Basement

According to an article by This Old House, one of the negative effects of a damp basement is property damage. If the basement features a finished living space, moisture can destroy the area’s framing, drywall, and carpeting. Moreover, even if homeowners use their basement only for storage purposes, condensation can buckle the hardwood flooring above the basement.

Apart from causing damage, moist basements are the ideal breeding ground for hazardous mold. An article from The Washington Post noted that mold begins to grow in a damp corner and eventually discharges loads of tiny spores in the air. These spores irritate the airways, skin, nose, and eyes. If the individual has asthma, he/she may begin wheezing or have an asthma attack.
