The basement of one’s house is that underground part of the house before reaching the ground floor. Usually, it is used as an extra space in a home. There, you can find heating systems, the fuse box, air conditioner, and sometimes, this is where the car is parked. Also, sometimes, we can find extra rooms in the basement, that is why it can be used as an additional living space. Nowadays, homeowners can use this extra space as a specialty living space like having a game room there, an in-law suite, a home gym, a home office, or a laundry room.
Wet Basement
Seeing the many uses that a basement offers, this part of the house must be kept dry and free from, i.e. mold in the interior portion. Usually, water seeps from out of nowhere into the basement, and this results in the basement being wet for quite some time. More often than not, the source of water leakage comes from the walls so destroying the walls might be necessary. If the source of the leak will not be identified, it will just continue until that part of the house with water leakage gives in to water damage. With professionals to handle it just like in Super Star Restoration, floors, wall cracks, as well as pipes can be fixed.
Is it safe to DIY?
The DIY method can address some conditions when doing water damage repairs. You can do it yourself if water has not yet seeped through some parts of the home. But if, i.e. the wood has already been moistened by water showing evidence of leaks, mold, or mildew, these call for faster action on the part of the homeowner. Residents in that home might get sick because of the presence of mold or mildew.
Under such cases, you must now get the services of a professional. Super Star Restoration is a company made up of professionals that specialize in water damage restoration, mold removal, restoration of a wet basement, and restoration of crawl space.
