If you live in the 5 boroughs of NYC then you know how important it is to keep your basement well maintained as even if you don’t use this area much but still we all know it’s an important part of your property. A well maintained and waterproofed basement can always save and protect your building from water damage, mold spread & infection and rust. So it requires some attention and maintenance from time to time.
Here are few things you can always keep in mind & inspect yourself before hiring someone:
- The first sign is if you smell a damp odor in the air while you enter your basement. It could develop from the humidity of household equipment such as water heater, sinks and washing machines. It also happens when there is poor or no ventilation which results in moisture accumulating in the basement.
- Water stains are also very common in the basement. If you see some water marks or stains on your basement walls or floor then you need to fix it immediately. These staines could have lead due to the seepage of the wall cracks.
- If you notice white sparkling spots on the floors and some powdery sparkling stains on the walls, then it’s a sign to consider and needs to take action. These stains are formed due to mineral deposits due to moisture evaporation.
- A wet and damp basement can develop some toxic mold and it can lead to unexplained sickness for your household member over a period of time. This is a very serious concern and needs immediate fix.
