Dampness

Dampness and moisture can be very common problems related to basement waterproofing. Basements are below ground level; they are affected by what are called atmospheric conditions. These atmospheric conditions persist because of the basement proximity below ground level. Normally you can tell if you have dampness, should water vapor or water pellets appear on the exposed face of your floors or walls. However it is not unusual that a basement is damp but shows no signs of visible liquid water leakage. That’s why when a homeowner complains about dampness or moisture in their basement, it is directly related to humidity problems.

Solution #1: In order to combat dampness the best method is to purchase a dehumidifier. A dehumidifier will help extract the moisture and dampness from the air which allows for evaporation, drying out the basement.

Solution #2: Make sure that you have proper ventilation throughout the basement. One of the ways is by installing a window fan that exhausts the humid basement air to the outdoors.

Solution #3: Check water Pipes for condensation (caused by warm air flowing over cold pipes) as a precaution, or to prevent extra moisture after the basement is finished by wrapping any exposed overhead water pipes with insulating material or tape.

Solution #4: In the more severe cases, install an air purifier which helps to cleanse the dank air overhead.
