Basements can be place of total relaxation and can hold fun memories with friends and families. With such a place and the benefits it can give to the rest of the members of the household, basements should be then taken care of as it is also a part of the house that we live in. Just like out bedroom or dining area, the basement should also be cleaned and kept in order. But what most people don't know is that basements are prone to the forces of nature, particularly water as they are situated below the normal floor area of the house. Living in a tropical country where rain is as common as the summer heat and those living in humid places and acidic soils, basement walls tend to produce cracks and leaks overtime and if not treated immediately, it can cause major damage and money for repair at the same time. With time to time inspection, these predicaments can be achieved by waterproofing basement walls.
