Mother Nature Is NOT Your Friend

We’ve all had not-so-nice experiences with Mother Nature. But most of us don’t think about the damage she can also do to our homes, specifically to our basements.

As we battle through the bitter cold of winter, we need to keep in mind the toll the weather can take on our homes. During winter, frost can cause cracks in the walls in your home and even make the walls shift in. Most people do not realize this until it’s too late! Even if frost wreaks havoc on your home, Northern States Basement Systems has plenty of effective and reasonably priced solutions to help you solve any wintertime basement issues!

All of us also need to prepare ourselves for the downside of spring (all though it might still seem far away at this point). All of the melting snow and humidity can cause terror in your basement.

In the spring, humidity in your basement can get incredibly high and has a 55% connection to mold growth. You will want to check your basement for mold BEFORE spring is upon us, so you can combat the problem before it actually becomes an issue and you have mold growth everywhere.

You also need to wary of all of the melting snow; all of that water can start seeping into your basement, causing lots of issues. Just be vigilant, and if you do see any water accumulation, be sure to call us right away at Northern States Basement Systems for a free estimate!

Good luck weathering our Minnesota climate and be sure to call us if you start experiencing any of these problems or be proactive and call us today!
