Moisture in Your Basement:


We have heard it countless times before. The number one complaint of homeowners everywhere is moisture intrusion. Something seemingly innocuous as a little water can end up costing you thousands of dollars in repairs for the damage it wreaks on your property.
Throughout the years that we have been in business, AllMax Toronto home inspectors have come to appreciate the complexity of this problem. This is why we are thoroughly equipped to offer you the best solution to this dreaded phenomenon.
If you are the unlucky owner of a wet basement, you will be surprised to learn that signs of water damage are not limited to your basement alone. The stack effect is responsible for the seemingly inexplicable signs of water damage at even higher levels of your home. But what is the stack effect? It is simply the gradual rising of warm air before it escapes outdoors. This elevation carries with it moisture which is why a water problem in your basement can mean sagging paint and mold even on your top floor!
