Summer is here, and that means that it is the best time to start thinking about Basement Waterproofing. Charlotte NC gets very hot and humid in the summer, which means that it is very easy for mold to start growing in the walls and flooring of your basement. You might not be thinking about Basement Waterproofing in the summer, because most basement floods take place in the winter when the pipes freeze, but the purpose of waterproofing your basement is not to protect against floods; if there is a flood, you will need a bigger intervention than waterproofing can provide. Rather, waterproofing protects your basement from mildew and mold.
Waterproof Your Basement for Summer Fun
Even before the phrase “man cave” entered the popular lexicon, basements have been a place to retreat. With a ping pong table in the middle and movie posters on the wall, what room could be more comfortable. How many of today’s homeowners have fond memories of their teen years when they used to watch Saturday Night Live in the basement every weekend after their parents were asleep? It is for these reasons that Dry Otter Waterproofing is dedicated to keeping your basement safe and mold-free.
Avoid Gross Mold
Does your basement really need Waterproofing? Charlotte NC basements are very prone to mold, and mold, frankly, is gross. The part of mold that you need to worry about is not the slime on the walls, but rather the invisible spores in the air. They can cause respiratory infections, and if you have allergies, the mold spores can make your allergies worse. Waterproofing your basement is one of the best ways to prevent mold.
