We all know that feeling. That thick, sweaty, uncomfortable feeling of a humid basement. If you walk into your basement and you get that humid feeling, it may be too high. The reason for this is because concrete basement walls are porous and if the soil surrounding your home is saturated with water, pressure builds which can result in a weakening in the integrity of your walls. This force is called hydrostatic pressure, which results in moisture infiltrating the basement. If you notice dampness in your basement or if the walls feel clammy, you may want to invest in a dehumidifier while you troubleshoot the outdoor issues causing your humidity problems with drainage techniques.

As the ground settles around your home, your foundation can shift or develop cracks. The exterior parge / coat can open and crack and give water an entry point to enter your home under the floor and walls. When water comes in contact with a porous surface like a concrete block wall, it's natural for the water to be soaked up like a sponge.
High humidity levels in dirt crawl spaces cause moisture and condensation and is a significant issue. Cool surfaces such as wood, concrete, and metal will gather water vapor condensing out of the air. This moisture will saturate the materials, causing rot, rust, odors, and mold growth. The moisture will provide perfect nesting conditions for insects and rodents. Moisture is the prime factor that causes structural damage. Over time, this moist environment damages wood framing, steel structural members, and costs you money in replacement.
Foundation issues can be caused by everything from the expansion and contraction of the soil around your foundation, which causes it to crack and settle, to leaky pipes under the slab causing excess moisture to build up. Don't let these issues get worse; contact Worldwide Waterproofing and Foundation Repair Inc to repair your home's foundation. Soil conditions change with the season. Soil keeps contracting and expanding with the weather. While this is completely natural, the soil your home rests on is considered to be a part of its foundation.
Mold is dangerous to you, your family, and your pets. It has been linked to everything from "sick building syndrome" and King Tut's curse to asthma and even death. Mold can even reduce your property value and cause serious health issues.
