Basement Water Damage Restoration
Although structural damage is not a severe problem arising out of basement leakage, you will find that most of your stored items, furniture and other objects in the basement are damaged as a result of flooding in your basement. Basement leaks are the most preventable of flooding problems, but are also the most neglected. The most common reason for basement flooding and leaks is an improper exterior grading, lack of proper gutters etc.
Look for these sure fire signs of basement leaks and water damage in the basement. The presence of mold and mildew is a dead give away of water damage in your basement. Look for darkened wood furniture which can indicate absorption of water, and the presence of white deposits on concrete surfaces that occur when water passes through. Nails that have rust and metal furniture legs that show rust, are all indications of a water damage problem.
A sump pump can be a godsend when your basement gets flooded. Make sure that your sump pump is perfectly serviced, and is in mint condition. Nothing is worse than a sump pump that refuses to work just when you need it for basement drying. Most components of a sump have to be replaced within 10 years, and if your sump pump is older than that, replace it immediately.
