The basement sealing company you hire will go over every square foot of your lower level. They will make every surface waterproof, and here's why:

Discoloring Water can cause staining of tile, concrete, brick or stone. It's not a huge problem, but it is both ugly and entirely avoidable. If you ever decide to sell your home, staining in the lower level is one of the things that will send any house inspector back to the customer with a "NO" in his hand, as well.

Rot Of course, any natural material that the seeping water will get into or on top of will start to rot. This often shows up in organic carpets, curtains, or the skirts of furniture. Not only does this cause foul odors and force you to replace said items, but it's a sure lead-in to the next problem.

Mold and Mildew Mold will grow on almost any surface that is continually damp, and seeping water often presents mold with a perfect place to grow. Mold is not only gruesome to behold, but it can have serious health effects as well. It is very important to have a mold removal professional inspect your basement.

Vermin Even the slightest crack in your foundation -- just a hair's breadth beyond what it takes for water to get in -- will also let in arachnids and insects, the most dangerous of which is the termite. Once a few termites work their way in and find the delicious dry wood inside your walls, you're in for an expensive repair job -- an expense that could easily have been avoided with a simple basement sealing, or if the crack is slightly larger, a minor foundation repair.

Shifting Foundation This is the kingpin of water destruction. Anyone who has ever gone house shopping and found a room that is distinctly tilted -- or worse, cracked in half -- is witnessing the effects of water damage on the foundation of a home. Foundation repair is a very expensive and time-consuming process, so much so that a small percentage of homeowners who end up with this kind of damage find it easier to sell the house and move than to deal with it.

Of course, by the time you've got a flooded basement, you need an emergency-response plumber as well as someone to get your foundation repaired and a good basement sealing performed.
