You may have noticed small, unobtrusive cracks in your basement walls and floor. Often, these cracks are the result of cement curing or settling, and may have remained unchanged for years. After all, if water isn't seeping through and they don't appear to threaten the structural integrity of your building, what harm could they cause? However, as the specialists at Cincinnati basement waterproofing company Reliable Crack Injection note, these small crevices could pose a serious risk to the health of you and your family.

Even though nothing is visible seeping through the cracks in your basement, they're an effective pathway for a variety of gases, including the second-leading cause of cancer. Randon is an invisible, tasteless, odorless gas that seeps in from the surrounding soil, and without a radon detector or professional inspection, you'll never know it's there. 

Even if your home is free of radon, small basement cracks could be letting in water vapor and other gases which can increase the humidity in your bottom level, promoting the growth of mold and algae, which bring their own set of health risks. This is in addition to any other pollutants which may lie dormant in the soil around your home, which can find their way into your home and even into the air system.
