As basements are below ground level they are susceptible to damp as moisture gradually soaks through the walls from the surrounding earth. Basements need to be damp proof in order to create dry, habitable spaces. If your basement is suffering from damp, it may eventually cause problems throughout the rest of your house if left untreated. As the walls of the basement become saturated, the moisture begins to rise up into the connecting walls leading to the main house. In severe cases, damp can ruin the foundations of the building and cause structural damage.
