Basement Problem Signs

Musty Odors
Musty odors are the result of the decay process from mold, mildew, and dry rot.

Mold and Mildew
Fungus grows in damp, dark areas and causes discoloration, musty smells, and odors.

White Chalky Substance on Walls
Known as efflorescence, this is a chemical breakdown of the bonding agent that holds your walls together. This is a sign of possible structural deterioration.

Damp Spots on Walls
Damp spots signal that water has absorbed through the wall. Block will have dark gray splotches in various places.

Cracked Walls
Cracked walls are a sign that a foundation has moved/shifted. The foundation should be inspected to determine the exact cause.

Warped Paneling
Moisture will cause paneling to bow and discolor, commonly at the bottom portion of the paneling.

Peeling Paint
Peeling paint is a sign that the wall has taken moisture inside, as paint will not stick to a wet surface.

Rust on Appliances or Furniture
Rust may develop on bottoms of furnaces, water heaters, and other metal appliances. This is a sign of dampness and water evaporation.

Dry Rot
Dry rot is dark brown/black fungus. It grows on walls and other surfaces. It grows mostly on wooden surfaces, causing wood to decay.
