Water is absolutely essential to life and survival…as long as it doesn’t go where it doesn’t belong. When it comes to home construction and maintenance, water is the primary enemy. As it seeps through the walls of your basement or comes up from underneath your floors (hydrostatic pressure) it not only weakens your foundation and could potentially destroy any renovation you’ve done or valuables stored in the basement, but creates a breeding ground for mold. This is when the water that is essential to life becomes a threat to your investments, health and the health of your family.
