Basement water damage is a serious problem

In many houses, the cellar or basement is out of sight and out of mind. But moisture inside your foundation can have far-reaching effects. Wood-boring insects aren’t interested in wood that’s dry and hard, but they love wood that been softened by the high humidity that can occur in many basement and cellar areas. Mold also loves moisture, and (like wood-boring insects) causes structural damage as wood rots and disintegrates. When airborne mold spores spread into upstairs areas, many people develop respiratory ailments after breathing in these microscopic organisms.
