A wet basement is not something to ignore. It’s a place where mold will love to grow, where water damage can become permanent, and where the whole foundation of your home can be compromised. It’s dangerously easy to allow your home to become so overcome by a wet basement problem that you end up needing to spend thousands and thousands of dollars trying to repair it. In some cases, the damage can be so significant that it is irreparable. But in nearly all cases, as long as you call Giants Restoration right away when you have a wet basement, your home can be completely restored to its pre-flood condition.
What Causes A Wet Basement
Here on the California coast, it’s easy for the marine layer to affect homes. The humidity of the sea air can cause moisture to collect in places like basements. There are all kinds of reasons why you could find yourself having to deal with a wet basement. Your home could be on a high water table, which could lead to cracks, leaks, and the like. You could have problems from drainage due to insufficient gutters when it rains. You could find yourself dealing with broken pipes, a leaky water heater, or a damaged septic tank, all of which are likely to flood the basement without you even noticing it right away. If your basement isn’t well ventilated (most are not), then you’re more likely to have moisture collect in various places and cause home damage, needing a professional home restoration service like Giants Restoration.
What We Can Do For You
We’ll send our professional technicians in to inspect the basement, drain it, completely dehumidify it, and then deal with any damages left by the water. We’ll help you ventilate your basement so damages aren’t permanent, and we’ll carefully inspect for any signs of mold. Mold infestations are common after flooding and without careful professional inspection, mold growth can continue unchecked and compromise the home as well as the health of the residents. Our home restoration specialists will resolve your wet basement problem and deal with all necessary inspections and cleanup and restoration afterward when you call us at Giants Restoration.
