Basement Waterproofing - Does This Look Familiar?
In wet basements, homeowners often like to employ the temporary fix of storing items raised off the ground on plastic, metal, or wood shelving. While this option may help to temporarily store everyday items, the moisture in the basement air can quickly affect any items stored for more than a short period (bad smells and water damage like effects on the items stored) and if the storage shelving is made of organic materials they can become moldy and rot over time.
