Wet Basement Health Risks in Connecticut & Westchester, NY

Wet basements are a potential source of many water-related problems and air quality issues, from foundation deterioration to widespread mold damage. Wet basements also pose several potential health risks or hazards.

Mold, mildew, and other air quality hazards thrive in wet basements. Potential health concerns include respiratory infections, asthma, and allergic reactions.

Wet Basement Health Risks That Need Superior in Rhode Island

• Bacteria: Bacteria colonies grow on damp, organic matter such as wooden floorboards and walls. Without proper foundation sealing, these airborne hazards can easily spread throughout the house.
• Mold: Common in moist living or working environments. Mold-contaminated walls or other structures, if undetected, can trigger headaches, respiratory illnesses, asthma, and eye infections.
• Dust mites: Thrive in warm, moist environments such as basements. These allergens trigger stuffy noses, itchy eyes, and sneezing. Indoor relative humidity less than 50 percent and regular cleaning are recommended to control dust mites and their effects.
• Other pests: Wet basements attract mice, cockroaches, spiders, snakes, ants and other unwanted house guests.
