The Truth About Basement Waterproofing

Wet Basements can cause monumental damage. Yet most homeowners are unaware of the problems that face their basements if left untreated. For starters, about 365,000 homes will need the fire department this year. But more then 3 million homes will require basement waterproofing. So what’s the damage?

Somewhere around $3 billion.

Hard to believe, isn’t it? Wet basements cause an estimated $3 billion every year in damage and repair costs to U.S. homes. Which begs the question... Why ? One major misconception is that many people think homeowners insurance covers basement water damage. Unfortunately, in almost all cases, it does not. And the fact that homeowners insurance rarely covers basement water damage only comes out once the damage is discovered.

Check your Basement for the following:

  • Damp walls
  • Mold or white crust called “efflorescence” on walls
  • Standing water or musty smells
  • Wall cracks or Wall movement
  • Water damage to paneling or baseboard
    moldings
