5 Obvious Signs You Need Foundation Waterproofing Services Downers Grove, IL

Water damage is one of the most common causes of damage to buildings. It starts from the foundation and spreads to other parts of the home if nothing is done about the damage.

House damage by water can occur progressively over time, and you may not easily notice it. But the losses can be big and may require costly repairs. Some of the problems that you may have to fix due to water damage include cracks, bowing walls, and damage caused by mold, among others.

To avoid these problems, you need to look for signs that your house, especially the foundation, is undergoing water damage. You should look for foundation waterproofing services to protect your home if you spot any following signs.

  1. Water or Moisture in the Basement

The presence of water or moisture in the basement is clear that the basement is receiving some water. This could be through the basement’s walls or water from the ground, or surface runoff that enters the basement due to rain or leaks in the plumbing system.

You need to consult a foundation waterproofing technician so that they can inspect the foundation to determine the cause of the moisture and use an appropriate method or method to seal the foundation walls. 

  1. Unpleasant Smells in the Basement

Musty smells in the basement are oftentimes associated with the growth of mold. So if your basement is smelly and you are yet to see any mold, this could be a sign that mold is hiding somewhere in the basement.

Mold grows in damp places. Therefore, if your basement has an explained musty odor, your basement could be damp, which means it has a lot of moisture. It would help if you let a foundation waterproofing technician check the cause of dampness and advise you on how to waterproof your basement.

  1. Mold in the Basement

If your basement is damp, you are likely to see spots of mold in addition to musty smells. Mold poses a major health risk and damages surfaces such as ceilings, walls, drywall, and many others. Call a professional foundation waterproofing contractor for help if you spot mold in your basement.

  1. Foundation Cracks

Cracks in the foundation are undesirable because they may make the foundation porous. Seepage of water and moisture through cracks in the foundation can expand the cracks and cause serious structural damage. So if you see cracks on the foundation, look for a foundation waterproofing technician to help seal the cracks.

  1. Curved Foundation Walls

Water damage can also cause the foundation walls to bow. Foundation wall bowing is dangerous because it is often associated with horizontal cracks, leading to notable structural damage. If you see bowing foundation walls, call a foundation waterproofing expert immediately.
