Dehumidification
Do you have a problem with a wet basement ? Do you want to know what causes basements to become wet in the first place? Leaking basements are a common problem, that affects 60 percent of homes and usually develop within 10 to 15 years. Unfortunately, a leaky basement can be very expensive to repair; costing homeowners thousands of dollars. Wet basements can also buckle basement walls and cause structural damage. It is advisable to fix your basement early before the expensive damage has been done. The signs of a wet basement include musty odors, minor water leaks and efflorescence (aka."white powder"). The two common causes for a wet basement are condensation and runoff.
Whether your basement is flooded, or there is mold growth on your walls, getting the water out of the air isn't just the best option, it's the only option. High humidity in a flooded room can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your walls and ceiling. Our team of experts is highly trained to provide you with quality equipment and know how to dry your damaged room quickly and at the lowest cost possible.
