Your wet basement is below the frost line
- Every time snow melts or rain falls some homes get a wet basement.
- Much of this moisture is pulled deeper into the frost line by gravity.
- The frost line is the depth in the ground in which the water NEVER freezes.
- Because this seepage is constantly moving beneath the frost line, you should expect water related problems year round.
- Times of extreme seepage occur usually in early spring and late fall.
After the mold is remediated, the wet basement should be fixed
- Black Mold is a fungus that can grow anywhere that is moist – and it can grow fast.
- Once inside, black mold can grow almost anywhere moisture accumulates.
- Black mold removal should occur as soon as black mold is observed in the home.
- Black Mold damages things inside the home such as books, papers, furniture and carpet.
