It is important to keep the basement in your home dry and safe, whether it is in your beautifully finished rec room or simply just a storage space for all that extra clutter and stuff.  A wet basement as we all know can wreak a whole lot of problems, from a minor accumulation of water that has caused your indoor carpet to get wet to something as major as structural damage to support beams.  For these reasons and many more the team here at Foundation Repairs & Home Improvement want to emphasize the importance of a dry basement.  

If your basement suffers from flooding there are a number of ways to remedy this common problem.  You can invest in a sump pump, a specialized drainage system or even contract to have structural repairs performed on your foundation.  Each of these effective solutions can keep water from making its way into your basement and can certainly provide you with a dry basement.

Basements that have a constant musty, damp smell and are extremely humid in the hot summer months, can be harmful to your home and family and require efficient resolutions as well.   Nearly half of the air you breathe on the interior of your home has at one point or another had a presence in your basement.  If your basement is damp and musty it can easily contaminate the air throughout your entire home, breeding mold spores and causing health issues for your family members.

A second alternative to your moist basement problems is investing in an air exchanger.  An air exchanger creates a continuous flow of air in your basement (can also be used in a crawlspace) so as to remove the moisture located in the specific area.  It will also minimize and even remove various odors, indoor pollutants and gases, and mold spores and replace the moist air with warm, dry air it takes from the upper levels of your home.
