Water Can Ruin Walls
Mold and Mildew Can Grow
Beyond wall damage, moisture that remains behind can be a breeding ground for mold and mildew. If you have ever smelled a moldy basement, this is because it can be difficult to control the amount of moisture within the walls of a basement. Mold growth can be a significant problem for homeowners, as mold can spread throughout the home if left unchecked. Mold can cause respiratory distress for some people, and is not good for anyone to be around.
When you have water in your basement, it may be tempting to clean up the water on your own. If you have electricity in your basement and the water is excessive, it’s time to contact a professional. Even when you think you can clean up some of the water, it can be dangerous if you don’t follow the right precautions.
