The Dangers of Not Waterproofing a Wet Basement

Black Mould

A damp basement or water damage left untreated is the perfect breeding ground for black mould. This poses a big risk because, not only is it costly to remove from your home, but it’s also incredibly dangerous to your health. Black mould is toxic and enters your body through inhalation, causing severe respiratory problems. It spreads rapidly, showing up within one or two days after water damage – even spreading onto your clothing and furniture. For this reason, you need to call a professional after noticing dampness or a leak in your basement. 

Rotten Beams

When water and dampness seeps into the support beams of your basement, it can compromise the structure of your entire house. Quite often, the beams will look fine from an outside perspective, but they can start decaying or cracking internally over time. While this does not immediately put you in danger, it will become very costly down the line.

Flooding

You may think you only have a small crack in your foundation, but with heavy rain or melting snow, the problem can quickly progress into a full-blown flood. Floods can be very devastating, particularly if you have any valuables or assets in the affected area. Getting the crack sealed right away will protect your basement from further water damage, both now and in the future.

Insects

Foundation Collapsing

Damp or water damaged walls can create huge problems for the rest of the house over time. Letting this issue go unfixed compromises the integrity of the walls and they can bow or collapse over time. If a solution isn’t found, the entire foundation of your home can collapse. This is an expensive problem to fix once it’s too late and is dangerous for everyone else in the house as well.

DrainWorks Plumbing: Faster = Better

When you notice that your Toronto basement needs waterproofing, get in touch with our team at DrainWorks. You can easily book online or give us a call anytime at 416-486-0000. Our technicians show up on time, when we say we will arrive. We come equipped and ready with a variety of methods available to fix your leaky or damp basement.

External waterproofing is an effective way to fix the problem if you don’t have many trees, gardens or cement walkways surrounding the foundation. However, if excavating is not a viable option, then internal waterproofing your basement might be the way to go. Other times, simply filling or rubberizing the wall or floor crack will do the trick.

After assessing your property, we will speak with you and lay out all of your potential options. Our solutions are customized to your unique situation and will be determined by what the best course of action is for you.
