Basements and Seepage in the West and South Suburbs

Clay soils hold water against basement walls after long spring rains, and it finds every crack. A musty smell in a finished basement often means water is getting behind the drywall or under the carpet. Pull back a corner and check with a moisture meter before the smell turns into a mold job.

Older homes in the inner suburbs share the same risks as the city, including lead paint and pipe insulation that may contain asbestos.
