Brookfield, IL is a modest-sized community in Cook County. It’s home to the Brookfield Zoo, which is managed by the Chicago Zoological Socity, and it’s open everyday of the year. Brookefield is also home to the Grossdale Train Station, which was built in the 1880s and is the oldest structure in the town. It was built before the town was even founded!
If you are a Brooksfield homeowner, you probably are proud of your town and of your home. If you have excess moisture in your basement, there is no better time than now to get it taken care of by a professional waterproofing company. In the movies, basements are usually portrayed as dark, dank, subterranean rooms where monsters live and where kids are afraid to venture. In reality though, basements serve as extra rooms where people keep their boilers and washing machines, dry their clothes, or sometimes it can be used as a game room or guest room. No matter how you use your basement, when a home’s humidity rises – often during the winter months, where humidity levels range from 30-50% – this can cause problems. You can tell when there is excess moisture in your basement when there’s rust, moisture or frost buildup, dark stains, water or drip marks, damaged roof sheathing, or when the insulation is wet or moist. The sources of this moisture vary, from the obvious such as baths, showers, washing machines, cooking, or the overuse of humidifiers, to the less noticeable sources such as moisture penetrating through the foundation walls and floors.
