Fix Water Problems before Listing Your Home in Wilton CT!

Moldy basement

Fix Water Problems before Listing Your Home in Wilton CT!

If you have evidence of water having invaded your home - fix the problem, and repair the look with drylock paint.  It will increase the barrier to help you keep out the water. 

No home will sell when it has evidence of water seeping into the basement.  No one wants to buy a home that may have mold problems.  The expenses are unknown, and could be very high.

The minute any of my buyers see water seepage or damage, they run from the house.  All in all, it costs the seller the sale, not just a reduced price.

One picture says a thousand words. With these kind of issues - sellers need to think like buyers. If yuo wouldn't buy a house with that issue, how can you expect anyone to buy yours?

Dagny - This is so true.  water and mold damage can be very costly to fix and you are right about the "unknown" and what else may be wrong.

Not fixing a water problem is one of the biggest mistakes any seller could make as so many buyers will not touch a home that has water issues.
