π Spring Homeowner Tip β Milton Edition
If you're noticing a musty smell or damp walls in your basement after the spring thaw β don't ignore it.
Moisture getting in now means mould potential by summer. Here's what to check this week:
β
Window wells β clear any debris blocking drainage
β
Grading β make sure soil slopes away from your foundation
β
Sump pump β test it now before you need it
β
Cracks in foundation walls β even hairline cracks let water in
If your basement has been on your mind β moisture issues are actually a great time to have a conversation about finishing it properly. We waterproof before we build. Always.
