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.

Exactly rectangular in shape, Wyoming is traversed by the Rocky Mts., which angle south across the state from the northwest. East of the mountains is the rolling country of the Great Plains, a mile-high region covered with grasses and sagebrush and interrupted by the upward thrust of mountain ranges. In the center of the state is a stretch of unbroken high plain, across which the wagon trains rolled westward over the Oregon Trail. In the extreme northeast the low, wooded Black Hills give way to eroded badlands extending west to the banks of the Powder River, which wanders through some of the most famous cattle country in the United States. West beyond the Powder is tallgrass country that was the hunting ground of the Crow until the migrating Sioux pushed the Crow westward into the mountains. The Sioux fell in turn before the relentless advance of settlers, and today farms and ranches occupy this fertile and beautiful plains area.
