An Erosive Element
By its nature, water is an erosive element. It carves out canyons, smooths rock, and can wipe out an entire geographical area during a flood. When water accumulates in your basement due to flooding, either naturally or through a plumbing catastrophe, the effects can compromise the integrity of your entire structure. Basement water damage in your Raleigh home should be addressed quickly before the damage gets worse.
Once the water has found its way into your basement, it will continue to enter through that compromised area. This can happen through cracks in foundation walls or hydrostatic pressure. Over time, the cracks can grow larger and the damage can intensify. Often, the consequences are not easily noticed, but once cracked walls, sagging floors, mold, and wood rot become noticeable, the deterioration process is well underway. Standing water or any type of moisture intrusion in your basement is never a good thing. Excess moisture and humidity enable the spread of mold, as it feeds off organic materials such as wood, drywall, carpets, fabrics, and papers—all items that are commonly found in basements.
