Never underestimate the power of a leaky basement. When left unchecked, a basement with an ongoing moisture and mildew problem is prone to cave-ins, undesirable smells, and infestations from unwelcome life forms. Here to fill you in on the most common signs of wet basement problems is Beaver Basement Waterproofing. Located in Westby and serving the surrounding areas, Wisconsin's premier waterproofing experts want you to remember you can always call on them for waterproofing solutions and foundation repair.

Keep your eye—and nose—out for these six signs of basement waterproofing problems:

  • Musty Odor: The unmistakable “basement smell” is actually not the ideal smell for a basement. Regardless of whether you can see where the leaks are coming from, it's still a job for Beaver Basement Waterproofing.
  • Mold: Once mold has started to grow in your basement, your problems are only just beginning. Call in a professional from Beaver Basement Waterproofing to get rid of the mold, as well as locate and repair all sources of leaks. Leaving mold to grow weakens the foundation of your basement, as well as creates a health hazard.
  • Water Marks: You will likely see these around basement windows or areas near pipes. Call in a professional if you notice water marks on the walls or near windows. What starts out as small water damage could swiftly turn into larger problems. Mineral deposits (e.g. chalky substances) are other marks that indicate water seepage.
  • Cracks In Walls & Floors: The perfect place for water to seep are cracks in your walls and floors. Only your local basement waterproofing contractors from Beaver Basement Waterproofing can tell you the extent to which these indicate foundation issues.
  • Misshapen Walls: This is the largest indication of water damage issues—and they can't wait. Get a professional in as soon as possible, because bowed walls require a lot of repair and could lead to cave-ins if they aren't addressed. As always, if you need reliable wet basement solutions, choose Beaver Basement Waterproofing to keep your home safe.
