No builder designs a home to have water in the basement. However, over the years, the foundation can shift, the membrane can crack or separate, water can seep into the landfill around your home, or the window wells can develop leaks. It can happen to any home.
Unfortunately, the damage does not end with the water alone. The water does not have to be knee deep in your basement to cause you problems. A wet or damp basement can be a serious source of mold, mildew and bacteria. The bacteria that thrive in a moist basement can pose a serious health hazard to family members who play or work in the basement area. Mold spores may also be vented to the above living quarters via air duct systems.
Fungus and mildew in a damp basement can contribute to chronic colds and respiratory ailments. Further hazards exist such as termites or rodents invading your home through foundation cracks, or electrical appliances or wiring coming in contact with seeping water.

Life in Montana's mountainous western area differs greatly from that on its eastern plains. Across the eastern half of the state stretch broad sections of the Great Plains, drained by the Missouri River, which originates in SW Montana, and by its tributaries, the Milk, the Marias, the Sun, and especially the Yellowstone. Much of Montana's western boundary is marked by the crest of the lofty Bitterroot Range, part of the Rocky Mts., which dominate the western section of the state and along which runs the Continental Divide. Montana's very name is derived from the Spanish word montaña, meaning mountain country.
