3 Signs of Basement Damage Due to Leakages Being an owner of a property is a big thing in today’s date. It’s a sign of settling down as well as investment for the future. But just buying a property isn’t enough; you also need to take good care of it. And one such thing to maintain is the health of your basement. Your basement decides the structural integrity of the property. And therefore, a lot depends on it. So, how and when to take care of your property? And what are the clear signs of damage due to basement leakages? Let’s find that out. 1. Mold Growth Basement cracks or leakages can be a cause of mold growth in that area. So, if you find mold and mildew growing in your basement, then that may be because of some water clogging. The best way to get rid of this is by checking for any cracks and then using the foundation crack repair method to get it back to normal. Apart from mold, water stain is also a sign of water leakage in the basement area. This is an indication to call up the professional basement waterproofing team to get your foundation walls rectified. 2. Deteriorating Furniture The next sign you need to look for is rotting of wood or deterioration of any furniture you have stored in the basement area. Continuous moisture in that area could be a reason for the rotting of the wood and damage to other materials stored in that area. 3. Unpleasant Odor Lastly, another way to find out that there’s a leakage in the basement area is by musky, unpleasant odor when you enter the area. This is because of the rotting of wood and the growth of mold and mildew. So, if you come across such a smell in your basement, it is time to look for cracks and water leakage in that area.
