Wet basement making mold
We own a home from the 1950s and the front of our house is in a slope. The back half of the foundation is completely exposed constantly getting a small amount of water when it rains out through the part that is underground. Also, if we leave anything on the basement floor, it's wet underneath which I understand is caused by hydrostatic pressure. Would you start with a deeper sump pump and see what happens or go the crazy expensive route of digging out the foundation and re-waterproofing? We used the blue stuff to seal out the water but it didn't do much. This is causing a small amount of mold in parts of the basement and that's a little scary. submitted by /u/Icy_Fact_2763 [link] [comments]
