The more moisture that is in your home, the less longevity there will be in your home.

Sealing and waterproofing is super important when it comes to preventing leaks in the home. The more moisture that is in your home, the less longevity there will be in your home.  In the form of rainwater and ground seepage, it can ruin foundations, windows and doors, masonry, and cement, siding and roofs. Excess moisture can also create serious mold problems and is quite common in basements and crawl spaces. However, it can occur above ground as well, due to roof and gutter leaks. Sealing out moisture and waterproofing your home is the most important maintenance chore you can do.
