Our waterproofing system installation will add life to the structure as it releases harmful hydrostatic pressure from against the exterior walls of the home. This not only contributes to the structural integrity of the home but will allow for the much needed cessation of the slow breakdown and decomposition of the cinder block, cement, etc. (Often evident by the white, powdery, or crystalline matter "efflorescence" on the walls of the structure. his mater is quite literally the lime being leeched out of the cement over time due to moisture intrusion into the building blocks.

Foundation deterioration often begins to cease when the release of hydrostatic pressure occurs. When we extricate the existing concrete, excavate the wet, existing subfloor material, (stone, dirt, sand, mixture of a couple, whatever). The resulting "trench" or space provides the void for us to manage the water and redirect it out of the structure, and off the walls of the building. Once outside, after installing a Discharge pipe to sunlight, we bury the pipe below the freeze line within an insulating and percolating member.

Mold are part of the natural environment. Outdoors, mold play a part in nature by breaking down dead organic matter such as fallen leaves and dead trees, but indoors, mold growth should be avoided. Mold reproduce by means of tiny spores; the spores are invisible to the naked eye and float through outdoor and indoor air. Mold may begin growing indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture. Mold grows outdoors on firewood. Mold comes in many colors; both white and black mold is shown here. Click on the narrows

Mold is usually not a problem indoors, unless mold spores land on a wet or damp spot and begin growing. Mold has the potential to cause health problems. Mold produces allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Allergic responses include hay-fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis). Allergic reactions to mold are common. They can be immediate or delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people. Symptoms other than the allergic and irritant types are not commonly reported as a result of inhaling mold. Research on mold and health effects is ongoing. This brochure provides a brief overview; it does not describe all potential health effects related to mold exposure. For more detailed information consult a health professional. You may also wish to consult your state or local health department.

It is impossible to get rid of all mold and mold spores indoors; some mold spores will be found floating through the air and in house dust. The mold spores will not grow if moisture is not present. Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors. If there is mold growth in your home, you must clean up the mold and fix the water problem. If you clean up the mold, but don't fix the water problem, then, most likely, the mold problem will come back. A dehumidifier is a good way to eliminate moisture in the air.
