At AA Action Waterproofing, we know all about mold and its dangers, and we want to teach our customers just why they want to protect themselves from mold. While mold is a natural thing, not all of nature’s gifts are beneficial to our health, and mold just so happens to be one thing that can cause a great deal of strife if you don’t protect yourself from its growth in your home.
Mold’s presence can be recognized using only two senses, and those are sight and smell. If you cannot see mold growth in your basement or your home, but you can smell a distinctly musty odor, you may have mold lurking where it’s unable to be seen just yet. As the mold spreads, you’ll begin to see it growing on walls or the surface of your belongings, and this will often mean it’s too late to save yourself from the costs of property damage.

When it comes to basement flooding prevention, the season that most homeowners consider first is typically spring, as this brings heavy, and frequent, rains to many parts of the country. Rain is often the culprit for many basement flooding situations, but what many homeowners do not realize is that winter brings just as much of a risk. The snows that come along in winter may look peaceful and beautiful at first, but as they melt, they will create a surplus of water seeping into the ground with little place to settle. Whether the ground is frozen solid and unyielding to any water, or there is simply too much water which causes oversaturation, either scenario can lead your basement down a harrowing path.

The foundation of your home can be considered your structure’s core, as the health of the foundation will directly affect the health of all parts of your home. A weakened or damaged foundation can cause your walls to crack, your ceilings to slope, and your basement to flood, allowing multiple problems to plague you as they all stem from one single underlying issue. At AA Action Waterproofing, we also know what type of toll a cold winter weather season can take on your foundation, which is why we recommend having your foundation checked and repaired before the start of another snowy cold weather season.

Mold is an oft thought of concern during the spring and summer months, but many homeowners don’t realize that it’s never too cold for mold, and your home is just as susceptible in the winter as well. During the winter, snowmelt and oversaturated ground can cause moisture to find its way into your home, and this creates the perfect environment for mold growth. Continue reading →
With the fall season in full swing, and winter approaching quickly around the corner, we at AA Action Waterproofing feel that there is no better time than the present to begin thinking about a basement waterproofing service. All too often, the spring and summer seasons are considered when thinking about basement floods due to the frequent and drenching rains, but the snow which comes along during the winter poses just as much, if not more, of a threat.

Winter is coming up quickly, and with it all of the long-range winter forecasts as meteorologists around the country get a more accurate glimpse of what this cold weather season may have in store. For many parts of the country, a snowy winter is expected, and this can lead to homeowners dealing with basement moisture during the most uncomfortable time of the year. When a basement floods in the winter, the clean-up process is typically even more harrowing and costly, and many homeowners don’t consider snow melt to be a basement hazard until it’s too late, so it’s always best to waterproof your basement before winter in order to avoid being in this type of situation.
