Holes In Your Foundation Can Lead To Black Mold
These Problems Can Cause Black Mold
1. Cracks or holes in the foundation block. Some are visible from the surface and others are hidden below grade. Once the water enters the hollow foundation wall block it quickly travels downward and on to your basement floor.
2. Egress window wells can be a real problem, also smaller window wells and low windows at ground level too. Some can fill up with water or simply from entering the home around the window well area.
3. Areas sloping the wrong way, back towards the home! It may be a paved surface like a walkway or patio. Or the area immediately around the foundation has a poor grade.
