According to the Weather Channel, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) expects a weak La Niña condition to develop this winter. What does this mean for you? Well, that depends on where you live. The North will be wet and cold. The South will be dry and warm. And the Midwest? They’re harder to predict, but most likely Midwesterners can expect heavy snow and freezing temperature followed by sudden bouts of snowmelt and above-freezing temperatures that will arrive without warning.
Welcome to Winter – Version 2018 – Basement Rev MVP Season!
In just a couple of months, it will be spring – aka flood season – and you’ll want to be ready! After all, when the snows melt, and the rains start, all that water running into the ground will need to go somewhere. If your basement flooring is unfinished, it might just seep into your concrete creating the perfect conditions for mold and mildew and setting your basement up for a musty smell all summer long.
Or you can Rev MVP this winter!
Rev MVP is a fast-drying, two-part, 100% solids epoxy moisture vapor protection product from V-8 High-Performance Floors. It has been developed to reduce basement moisture in your home or business and protect against its damaging effects. While Rev MVP was formulated for application on fresh concrete, eliminating the 28-day fresh concrete curing period, it can also be used to seal concrete flooring in older basements.
While many construction and remodeling projects are put on hold, winter is the ideal time to apply Rev MVP to your basement. Even though outside air temperatures can drop below freezing in the winter, soil surrounding basement walls helps insulate them from the cold. With basement concrete temperatures above freezing – typically remaining around 52 degrees – and low overall humidity levels, both old and new concrete can thoroughly dry out in the winter.
It’s no secret that a dry basement can improve the value of your home. But when you consider that a dry basement protects against mold and mildew, it also improves the health of your home and therefore the health and well-being of you and your family. Protect your home this winter with Rev MVP. For more information about basement moisture vapor protection, call V-8 High-Performance Floors today.
