Should I call a professional for basement water seepage?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms we had last month, I noticed a strange damp smell coming from the basement. Upon checking, I saw that water was seeping through the walls near the corner by the laundry room. It’s been two years since we moved in, and this is the first time something like this has happened. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with coastal cleaning or should I call a professional right away?

It sounds like your basement is experiencing some serious water seepage issues. Given the recent heavy storms and considering you've noticed this only after two years of living there, it might be wise to act promptly. In Dubai/UAE, buildings are often constructed in areas that could potentially experience coastal effects or occasional flooding, especially during extreme weather events.

Firstly, i'd recommend calling a professional environmental inspection and remediation company like Saniservice for an immediate assessment. They can help identify the source of water seepage and ensure your home is safe from mold growth and other potential health hazards. In UAE, it's crucial to comply with local building codes which may require such inspections in coastal areas.

The smell you're experiencing could be indicative of moisture-related issues, and left unaddressed, it can lead to serious problems. Coastal regions like Dubai are particularly prone to high humidity levels that can exacerbate these conditions, making it even more critical to get a professional's opinion. Saniservice offers expert services including mold inspections, water damage assessments, and remediation plans tailored for the local climate.

Remember, in UAE, there have been cases where similar issues were reported due to improper waterproofing or drainage systems. Having a thorough inspection can save you from bigger problems down the line.

Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com today to schedule an inspection and start addressing these concerns before they worsen. Don't wait, act now to protect your home and family's health.
