Where Is My Leak Coming From?
So you’ve gone to the basement, and noticed some water on the floor or wall. The wet spot seems like it popped up from nowhere, and it seems to come back after rainstorms, snow melts, or other outdoor events causing excess precipitation. You search and search, and you can’t seem to find where it’s coming from, but you do know that you want to avoid the mold growth and property damage that will come along with its subsequent returns. Finding out where your leak is coming from exactly can be tricky, but with AA Action Waterproofing, you have professionals on your side. Continue reading →
Summer allergies are something that tons of people find themselves dealing with when each warm weather season comes along. The itchy eyes, runny nose, sore throat, and skin sensitivities that come along with the summer season can really hinder your enjoyment of the long days and great Maryland weather, but what if your indoor air is actually making them worse? Poor air quality, paired with seasonal allergies, acts as a one-two punch when it comes to exasperating your symptoms, and the fix may be something you have never thought of before. 
One common misconception is that your leak is due to a problem on the inside, but eve a foundation free of cracks and a structurally sound home can have leaks coming in, but from a source you may not have considered. The land your home is built on, and the drainage it allows, contributes a great deal to your likelihood of experiencing a flood or leak, and we at AA Action Waterproofing make sure to take this into consideration when it comes to waterproofing your home. 
According to records kept since 1871, Maryland precipitation peak months are in July and August, when it is shown that a strong thunderstorm can occur on an average of once every 5 days. What this means is that your home will experience serious precipitation levels in these coming summer months, but it’s not too late to prepare it from experiencing leaking, flooding, or damage due to the nature of these strong storms. At AA Action Waterproofing, we believe in preparing for the storm, not repairing after it, and a waterproofing of your home can keep your space protected from what these peak precipitation months have to offer. 
Seasonal allergies caused by different types of plant growth are anything but rare, but one thing that allergy sufferers may not realize is that indoor growth can be just as hazardous to their allergy condition as outdoor growth is known to be. Pollen, trees, and spores in the air outside can cause your nose to run, your throat to grow sore, and a cough to develop, but mold spores in your home can do much of the same thing and you may not even recognize it. 
The name alone can tell you just how important it is to the structural soundness of your home, and we at AA Action Waterproofing want our Maryland area customers to know just how important fixing your foundation before winter can be. During the winter months, Maryland will see quite a bit of freezing, snow, and tough winds, causing the ground to contract and expand over and over. What this natural freezing and movement will do is cause your foundation to be under quite a bit of stress, and added stress on an already cracked or damaged foundation can wreak havoc on your home’s structural integrity as well as its ability to keep water out.
