Water can enter a basement in many different ways, and these will often not be seen by the naked eye. Basements rest underground, the same ground used to absorb water during rain storms or snow melts, and any small crack or space will allow this water to travel from the ground and into your home through these cracks, spaces, or holes in your basement area. At AA Action Waterproofing, we work hard to find these spaces which allow water to come through, and we make sure they remain sealed to stop water from seeping in in the future, thereby saving yourself from having to deal with expensive mold removal and property damage later on.

Mold cleanup is more commonly known as mold remediation, and this is the process used to rid schools, homes, office buildings, or other structures of the mold, or molds, they may have present. In cases of small amounts of mold, if testing has determined that the type and amount of mold isn’t too serious, this can be done rather easily by a homeowner. In cases where the mold is found to be toxic, or the mold has spread throughout the structure, it’s always best to call in the professionals so that you can rest assured that your mold problem has been effectively remediated. At AA Action Waterproofing, we make sure to take care during each step of the mold remediation process to allow you to have a happy and mold free home once again. After a mold remediation process has taken place, we can also help you to waterproof your basement area or home to ensure that the problem doesn’t arise again, as moisture will no longer be able to enter uninvited into your home.
