Why Have A Dry Finished Basement?
A finished basement, clean basement will make your home more appealing as an investment. A dry basement will be free of any leaking basement walls. You will enjoy your home more, knowing that it is healthy and safe.
If you have leaking basement walls, your home's value will decrease and that space is both unsafe and wasted space for you and your family. SKV Construction can help you eliminate the source of moisture problems, and get your home safe and dry.
3 Common Issues That Cause Leaky Basement Walls:
- Moisture and Wall Cracks
- Leaky Pipes
- Wall-Floor Joint Wetness
Issue #1: Moisture and Wall Cracks
High humidity and moisture will lead to a musty, bad smell. The odor is due to the direct result of mold growth. To get rid of the mold growth, you will need to install a properly sized dehumidifier. SKV Construction will help you install a product that will perform effectively.
Issue #2: Leaky Pipes
Plumbing pipes in a basement often have water dripping off of them, and contribute to excess moisture in the basement. This condensation is best eliminated by having them insulated.
Issue #3: Wall-Floor Joint Wetness
Where the basement wall meets the basement floor is often a source of moisture. Heavy rainstorms, improper slope of the landscape, poorly working gutters, and inefficient sump pump sytems may all be contributing to the moisture buildup.
