Your basement

Every homeowner who has a basement knows that moisture is very common there, but most individuals don’t understand the seriousness of the situation and leave it untreated – which is a common mistake because it can lead to mold and mildew causing health problems at the same time. “As a general rule, if you smell mildew, you have mold,” Bassett says.
