If you have any signs of moisture in your basement, removing the water and preventing new water from entering is crucial for the safety of your home.

With water in your basement, precious belongings can be seriously damaged if not destroyed. Walls and floors can be permanently stained. Even worse, a wet or moist basement that is left untreated can develop mold growth that can spread to the rest of your home. So what can you do?

In warm, humid climates, like here in Atlanta, many homes are built with crawl spaces beneath them. That helps prevent moisture problems in the home, but leaves another possible issue. The crawl space itself is susceptible to water leakage and water issues.

As a homeowner, the threat of mold and mildew buildup in your basement and crawlspaces is a consistent battle.
