Why Weather Across The Country Is Important To East Coast Residents
National regions can be very insular, even though they often overlap both culturally and demographically. This is not just an action of social dynamics, but also a very modern personal reaction, especially as technology seems to both generate new lines of connection, but through greater personal isolation. The result is that the natural personality reaction of self-involvement and a focus on factors which can directly impact productivity become higher. Continue reading →
For many Maryland residents, moisture in the basement can present a significant problem. Although factors such as foundation cracks and structural design issues can contribute to chronic basement flooding, even soundly constructed basements can suffer from severe moisture problems. 
Finding ways to create more living spaces is a practice that east coast residents are highly familiar with. Large population densities, especially along the shore can lead to creative solutions for making family rooms, play rooms, or just quiet areas to pursue hobbies. In these situations, any space that has potential may be converted into a completely finished room, thus filling the need for more room to enjoy life. 
The east coast is host to a diverse population of individuals, who also enjoy a range of lifestyles. This makes homeownership not only an exciting prospect, but also one that has the potential to offer greater value than the initial investment. While this practice of investing to find a greater return is well known in the business sector, it really is also a motivating factor in everyday life decisions. 
With Tropical Storm Ana making its way to the Carolina coast, it’s time for those on the east coast to begin thinking about hurricane season. While strong storms this early in the season are relatively rare, time is running out to prepare your home before the later hurricane heavy season begins, and being close to the coast is a near guarantee that you will eventually run into hurricane or tropical storm trouble at some point during your time in your home. We at AA Action Waterproofing want to help you to keep your home safe and prepared, and to keep the water outside where it belongs! 
At AA Action Waterproofing, one of the many services we provide to our mid-Atlantic customers is mold remediation and removal. Mold can find its way into your home through general moisture in the air, or after a leak or flood, but with over 300,000 types of mold out there in the world, it’s typically one of the big 3 varieties that you’ll be working with in your space. To get to know the mold, or potential mold, you may be dealing with, it’s best to get acquainted with these varieties first! The top 3 most common molds found in the home are: 
We all know that a basement flood costs quite a bit of time, energy, and peace of mind, but many don’t realize the financial costs of a flooded basement until it’s too late. While waterproofing services may seem financially intimidating at first, they’re nothing like the sort of costs that one would incur if their basement begins to flood, especially when considering a basement flood is rarely a one-time occurrence if no steps are taken for prevention. 
For some of our mid-Atlantic area customers, moisture in the basement isn’t always the result of a flood or a leak. Because this region of the United States is a naturally moist one, sometimes moisture will begin to accumulate simply due to the dampness in the air, and while you may not notice that your basement is damp at first, it will soon become apparent when mold begins to grow on surfaces or property in the basement and you’ll get that tell-all musty smell. By the time mold starts growing it may already be too late for some belongings, but you can save others still unaffected if you take the steps to dehumidify your basement before the damage grows too severe. 
No scientist or mold remediation specialist knows just how many types of mold exist on the planet, but some estimates range as high as 300,000. When it comes to the mold in your home, you could be facing a mold issue with a harmless mold that doesn’t seem to affect your health, or you could be working with toxic species of mold that present a significant impact. By having your mold tested, not only will you make clear just what type of mold you may be exposed to, but the best way to get rid of it, and the most accurate mold testing methods are those performed by professionals in mold remediation.
