Even waterproofing companies may have a poor design installed in your home, as some methods can either be outdated or overlooked. Understanding that changing the design can help create a more effective drainage system that prevents mold.
Mold thrives in dark, musty places with food and water sources. When you have bad gutter systems, water can activate the last condition for mold to thrive. When this happens, mold spores will spread and infect your home, making it dangerous to live in.
Homeowners must be proactive about their home's health and make sure their basement has the best waterproofing system. This includes ensuring that gutters are free of clogs and debris, that downspouts are connected to a sump pump, or installing French drains to help direct water away from your home. If you've suffered from any of these issues, feel free to share your experience below.
