Basement Waterproofing Lombard IL
Is there a musty odor in your home’s basement? If so, there is a good chance that water intrusion is the cause, and you should contact us at your earliest convenience to schedule an inspection. Even if you do not spot any other physical signs, that odor is a certain indicator of water seepage.
Also watch out for:
-Mold. This is a concern for any homeowner. Never ignore signs that mold is growing anywhere in your basement. It doesn’t necessarily matter if the mold is white, green or black, the sight of it in your concerns calls for a Basement Waterproofing Lombard IL solution right away.
-Noticeable efflorescence. Basically, this is a chalky white substance that collects on walls. Efflorescence is the movement of salt towards the surface of a porous material like concrete. This tends near areas where there are gaps and cracks on walls because they permit water in.
Though not as serious as the spread of mold, it’s not a bad sign.
-Cracks in floors and walls. Even if you don’t spot signs of water seepage just yet, cracks on foundation walls will not go away on their own and will steadily get worse as time passes. Fortunately, if cracks are the only issue, they are typically the least costly to waterproof.
Minor cracks in the floor are a common source of water leakage that builds up from the pressure that builds up underground. However, larger cracks or heaving might be signs of more significant problems with the foundation.
-Bowed walls. If you spot inward curves or bulges on your concrete foundation walls it calls for an immediate repair. Bowed walls create horizontal cracks that permit water intrusion and risk weakening your entire foundation.
