Mold, moisture and water problems can quickly develop due to a faulty foundation. Attempting to repair this problem without consulting Commercial Foundation Contractors could lead to further damage. Foundations can shift in new or old construction. Soil that is saturated can place pressure on the walls of a foundation if adequate draining is not installed or operating properly. Many older homes have crock-style French drains at the footer of the basement. The footer is the base that the cement block is placed on. In older homes, these crock-style French drains can become cracked or clogged. Once this occurs, other alternatives to remove water from the basement walls must be explored.
Concrete is a very porous material. Without a water vapor barrier, humidity and dampness will enter the foundation. Areas around vents, doors or windows in the basement can also result in water leakage. Mold and mildew can create serious health problems to occupants in a home. Mold can make individuals very ill and that’s why it’s so important to contact Commercial Foundation Contractors at the first sign of any problems. If water is leaking into your basement whenever it rains, this is a sign of a very serious problem that needs to be inspected immediately. The foundation of the home is the most important area of a house because it helps to maintain the stability of the upper floors.
