Basement Waterproofing from Basements 911

Mold is a sub-group of the fungi kingdom. There are tens of thousands of different types of molds. Mold spores are generally classified into three different categories when pertaining to health: toxic, pathogenic and allergenic.

Toxic - A toxic mold is one that produces a mycotoxin that has been associated with adverse affects in almost anyone if present in elevations.

Pathogenic - A pathogenic mold will affect those who are already immune-compromised. Many mold types fall into this category. Immune-compromised individuals include, but are not limited to, cancer patients, elderly, pregnant women, small children with undeveloped immune systems, people with heart disease, others who suffer from illness, and some animals.

Allergenic - An allergenic mold is one that may affect some but not others. This effect is very similar to an animal or pollen allergy. An allergenic mold can sometimes divide a family because only one person may complain of symptoms while others do not have concern for the problem and ultimately do not address it. Some individuals may build a tolerance to an allergen, while others become more susceptible after chronic exposure.

Are Your Basement Walls Bowed?

August 8, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment

Bowed or bulging basement walls means your wall is buckling from the pressure exerted on it by the outside dirt and water. If this is not treated, eventually your basement wall may collapse and further damage may be caused.

A bowed wall typically can be repaired using structural support and wall bracing that Baesment Sevices 911 can install. It is also imperative to reduce the pressure on the outside wall. This typically requires the replacement of the exterior drainage system to reduce the soil moisture and hydrostatic pressure being exerted on the wall. Read more
