WillFix Research – A Damp Basement Is a Health Hazard

Protecting your basement from moisture is crucial to avoid health issues. High humidity levels are perfect conditions for the development of many potentially dangerous organisms.

Insects

A variety of bugs can make your damp and dark basement their home, including:

Centipedes (Chilopoda);
Earwigs (Dermaptera);
Millipedes (Diplopoda);

Some insects may spread diseases, and we doubt you’ll feel comfortable sharing a house with them.

Mould

Mould spreads rapidly, often appearing within 24-48 hours in wet basements:

Dark-hued brown mould (Stachybotrys);
Pale, dry mould (Aspergillus);
Black mould (Stachybotrys);

The presence of mould in your home is concerning, because it causes different health issues.
