1. HOME AND PROPERTY DAMAGE: Rotten wood, wet insulation, ruined carpeting and damaged appliances are some of the results of
wet basement problems.
2. INSECTS: Insects “LOVE” a wet environment!
Wet Basements are ideal habitats for insects to breed and multiply. Moisture-hungry insects include carpenter ants, termites and other wood-eaters. Spiders, millipedes and water bugs also love a wet basement. The truth is, most insect control services won't even give you a guarantee on their services without repairing the water leakage problems first.
3. ELECTROCUTION DANGERS: Wet floors and moisture in your basement walls are very good conductors of electricity. Damp electrical outlets and switches create a real risk of electrical shock.
