If you’re one of the nearly 6 million people living within Maryland’s borders, you’re already aware of the copious amounts of precipitation the state receives. While it has a lot to offer residents, the fact is that the location of the state means that it receives plenty of moisture from the Atlantic Ocean and from fronts moving east across the country. Add in the snowfall and the frozen moisture in the ground that thaws each spring, and it’s not hard to see that Maryland can get a little wet from time to time. Your home will be your shelter against that moisture, but if it leaks you may have a problem. Continue reading →

Maryland is located on the east coast of the country, and its northeastern location means that it experiences a considerable amount of rainfall each month – four inches on average. While those who live here are generally able to defend themselves and their homes against mold growth, sometimes the inevitable happens and you’ll find that mold has taken over some part of your home. Here at AA Action Waterproofing, we can help. However, it all starts with understanding the basics behind mold.

The issue here is that many basement leaks aren’t noticed until long after they begin, and by that point the mold growth has begun in earnest. Once it takes hold, it can be a very difficult process to remove mold from a home. Continue reading →
