Wet Basement Services Toronto

Wet basement problems can not only bring financial damage but an emotional as well. Plumbers often find that people tend to keep things that are most dear to them – like photo albums, computer hardware, toys, and music instruments – in their basements. Hence, families – adults, and children – spend a lot of time in their basements. They do little to prevent their basements from being wet and moldy. As a result, they have to deal with the problem when it is already there, bringing damage to their health and their belongings.

Second, before you basement becomes wet, check the flow of water around your house’s foundation during the rainy period. The first sign of poor drainage, and hence the higher risk of a wet basement problem, is when you see puddles accumulating around the foundation. The water from outside can eventually seep through the foundation and create cracks that cause problems. That is when you know you have to take measures to prevent your basement from being wet.

Basement waterproofing contractors in Toronto will be able to quickly determine a basement problem associated with your area and your particular house. The wet basement contractors would find out why your basement is wet, and advise you on the best prevention measures, basement waterproofing, installing rain gutters and downspouts, ensuring you have a proper exterior drainage system.

WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN YOUR BASEMENT IS ALREADY WET?

Looking for signs is a big preventative measure to ensuring little to no foundation damage. These include:

wet stains present on your basement walls or floors
your basement smells or feels wet
you have noticed mold in some parts of your basement (usually the corners), or signs of spalling (when basement surfaces peel off or seem flaky)
Make sure you take some measures to prevent further escalation of the wet basement problem, such as:

Remove all valuables
Make sure your children do not spend time in the basement. Mold can cause such problems in health, like asthma and allergies
and finally call a wet basement specialist, who will determine how and why your basement became wet
Since your basement supports your whole house, you should never try to fix the problem yourself when it becomes wet; use professional basement waterproofing contractors who deal with the wet basement problem on a regular basis, and who will make sure to preserve the structural stability of your basement.
