Happy Derby! Around this time of year, Louisvillians are expecting the rain…..What isn’t expected, is what the rain is exposing inside your own basements.
This homeowner in St. Matthews had fresh paint, a fireplace, and a clean finished basement. Then one rainstorm exposed the real problem.
Here’s what we found:
• Water coming through the wall seam
• White powder on the floor
• Peeling paint
• Dry rot
• Moisture near the furnace and water heater
Most basement problems don’t start with flooding. - They start with small warning signs:
White powder, peeling paint, stains, rust, and musty smells are all signs water is already moving through your basement.
The sooner you catch it, the easier, and usually cheaper it is to fix.
