By Alyce Powell


Moisture in homes occurs due to many reasons, and for the problems to be eliminated, the exact cause of the dampness should be corrected. With the services of water damage repair Calgary contractors, they are able to inspect your home, identify the damages, look for the moisture damages and decide on the best method to apply to rectify the problem. When there is moisture in a home, the wooden floors begin to swell and warp due to increased moisture.

In addition, the adhesives used to bond the wooden floors peel off and the floor comes out. Molds disperse airborne spores, which are inhaled by people leading to many allergic conditions. The spores trigger conditions like running rose, water eyes, nasal congestion, irritation on skin, coughing, sneezing, and wheezing.

Wet grounds may also contribute to increased moisture in premises. When it rains, the water table increases and the soils around your building hold more moisture. The moisture can penetrate through cracks or through the capillary action on concretes and reach interior of buildings.

The drainage system needs to drain surface water properly, and if there is back flowing of the wastewater, it could cause basement, toilets, and bathrooms to become wet. Sewerage clogging causes drain lines to backflow and the wastewater comes out through drainage openings. If the guttering system is not installed or has warped and sagged sections, it could allow the rainwater to pour on the ground adjacent to the walls and foundations of a building.

The contractors also remove the molds that have grown in premises. When there is increased moisture, molds are likely to propagate within a short time.

If basement are allowing moisture to enter, they may be sealed with a waterproof material in order to prevent the water from reaching the interiors of a building. When moisture enters to the basement, it spreads to other areas of a building through the stack effect. This means that it is not just the surfaces on the basement, which suffer, but other areas including the floors and furniture in the ground floor.

The water running down from the gutter sheets collects on the ground next to the walls and foundation of basements and starts seeping down. When it finds cracks, the water penetrates easily and reaches the surfaces of the basement. The cracks need to be repaired so that they do not allow moisture to enter the interior of your home.

Concretes material used to construct many homes is porous and absorbs moisture. When the moisture migrates from one location to another, it causes structural damages. Inside the concretes, the moisture can corrode metal support bars in beams leading to weak structures.
