Usually not, most basements have moisture or dampness problems. It is a subterranean environment. During the life of every home there will be some sort of water problem in the basement.

Not necessarily. A recent study in the Washington, D.C. area found that over 86 percent of cement block constructed homes over 25 years old, had moisture problems. The National Association of Realtors state that, during the life of a home, almost all will experience some form of water problem.
