Here Are Four Hazardous Risks Associated With A Wet Basement 

Basement waterproofing is crucial not only for the structural integrity of your home but also for the well-being of your family. Here are four reasons why a wet basement can be harmful to you and your family. 

Pests In Your Home 

A wet basement can attract a wide variety of pests and rodents. Investing in basement waterproofing from All Aspects Waterproofing can help restrict and limit the number of pests in your basement.

You Notice Dust Mites In Your Home 

Dust mites are an unexpected side effect of damp basements. They thrive in warm conditions, and they are comfortable in wet atmospheres. If you have a stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and sneezing, you may have a dust mite infestation in your basement. Experts recommend keeping your home’s humidity below 50 percent and investing in air conditioning on hot days to keep these bugs at bay.

Bacteria Infestations 

A moist basement encourages the growth of harmful microorganisms. Once airborne, they can cause various severe illnesses if they are not removed from your atmosphere. Remember that these bacteria can quickly move throughout your home if the foundation is not sealed correctly.

Mold Growth

Mold is among the most prevalent health risks associated with working and living in damp conditions. This fungus appears in various colors and develops quickly on almost any indoor surface. Mold can affect your airways, and mold-infested settings can cause headaches, respiratory diseases, asthma, and eye infections in those who spend time in them.
