Interesting Facts About
Basements & Moisture
 |
A
poured concrete foundation starts out with 1,000+ gallons of
water. If the exterior is waterproofed, where does that
moisture go as the wall cures? |
|
A
typical basement wall can draw as much as 10 gallons of moisture
into your home every day! |
|
Basements
are one of the leading sources of excess moisture in homes today. |
|
Excess
moisture leads to mold & mildew. |
|
Insulating
a concrete basement wall on the interior will increase the risk of
problems. |
|
Many
experts agree that concrete basements should not be finished and
used as living space unless:
 |
The
concrete walls are properly insulated on the exterior rather
than interior. |
|
The
concrete walls are waterproofed, not just damp-proofed.
Tar coatings are not waterproofing. |
|
|
Carpeting
should not be installed on concrete basement floors without
underslab insulation. |
