Basement Waterproofing - The Negative Effects of a Wet or Damp Basement

Tuesday, March 20th, 2012 by Rosie Graves

The Negative Effects of a Wet or Damp Basement Since air flows upward into the upper levels of your home from the basement, it brings the humidity from the basement with it. The effects on your home can include:
Dust mites.
Sticking (swollen) doors and windows.
Smelly damp carpets
Buckling hardwood floors
Condensation/ rotting/mold in your attic (as humid air escapes into your attic it can condense against the cold ceiling or roof.) Increased cooling bills (damp air takes more energy to cool) Increased heating bills ( damp air takes more energy to heat) Mold upstairs Deceased life of roof sheathing and shingles Decreased life of the paint on the outside of your house Aggravated asthma and allergies The damage to the basement is obvious. The above list represents many of the effects that can happen upstairs that you may not associate with your wet or damp basement.  Source: Dry Basement Science, Lawrence Janesky
