Q: What causes a basement to smell musty?

• <div><p>Mold and mildew are the things in basements that actually cause the musty odors, but moisture is the underlying issue that causes mold and mildew growth. Addressing moisture and water problems and then removing materials that are moldy are some of the best ways to get rid of the musty odors. Preventive measures after that&mdash;like installing air fresheners and a dehumidifier&mdash;can help keep musty odors from returning.</p></div>

Q: Does heavy rain affect leach fields?

• <div><p>Heavy rain can affect a leach field because the extra rain can cause the groundwater level to rise. This leads the soil around the leach field to become saturated with rainwater, so it&rsquo;s no longer able to take in effluent from the leach lines for final treatment. Heavy rainfall can cause the leach field to flood.</p></div>

Q: Should water in the basement go away on its own?

• <div><p>Pooling or standing water in your basement should be cause for alarm and action. This indicates that there is a leak or a drainage issue, and until you repair the root of the problem, the situation will only happen again or grow in severity. It&rsquo;s important to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-fast-can-water-damage-ruin-home.htm">deal with water damage</a> as soon as it occurs.</p></div>

Q: What methods are used for waterproofing basements or crawlspaces?

• <div><p>Methods include interior sealants, exterior excavation and waterproofing membranes, sump pump installation, and vapor barriers for encapsulation. Techniques vary based on the structure and severity of moisture issues.</p></div>

Adrian was quick to reply and offered a reasonable price for his team to fix a leak in my roof. He greeted me with a smile and hand shake and despite the fact that not many companies will even come all the way out to my town, he had the team fix the leak the same morning he came to inspect. Very...
