Basement water leaks are annoying and aggravating. Items cannot be stored where they will be damaged by water, taking away useful space from a home. As soon as basement water leaks are discovered, a competent and reputable basement waterproofing company should be called to analyze the damage and how to repair it. This is not the time to try ‘do it yourself’ procedures, but to call experts in the field, a waterproofing company.
The last thing that is needed in the most expensive investment anyone will ever make, their home, is foundation damage or wet basement mold. The formation of wet basement mold can be a health hazard and it is not very appealing visually. Make the investment before the damage worsens by calling a good basement waterproofing contractor. Most are reputable and charge reasonable fees. Besides, if the situation worsens you will have invested more money than anticipated by attempting to be frugal.
Frugality is great, but not when something as costly and dear as a home is involved. In the tough housing situation now existing, it would be advantageous to have the home checked for water damage or leaks before they are noticed. A home with a water leak problem is difficult to sell. Only a professional can make this assessment.
