What Causes Basement Moisture?
Basement moisture is caused by a number of structural problems, such as inadequate grading, missing or defective downspouts or gutters and structural cracks. There are several signs that indicate the presence of basement moisture. These signs can include damp spots on the floors or walls, peeling paint, mildew or mold, musty odors, and warped paneling. If not fixed, these problems can become health hazards and can also lower the value of the home.
