The crawlspace is often an overlooked part of your home, but it plays a crucial role in the overall health of your home. Without proper waterproofing, water intrusion can lead to long term problems such as:
Mold and Mildew: Excess water and moisture can create the perfect environment for mold to grow and thrive, posing serious health risks to your family.
Structural Damage: Over time, water intrusion can weaken your home’s foundation, which can lead to costly repairs.
Pest Infestations: A damp crawlspace is the perfect breeding ground for pests such as termites and rodents which can further damage your home’s structure and foundation.

Q: How do we fix crawlspace water intrusion issues?
Water can enter a crawlspace through several pathways, including poor exterior drainage that allows water to pool near the foundation, clogged gutters or downspouts directing water too close to the home, and high groundwater levels exerting pressure on foundation walls. Heavy rainfall or localized flooding can overwhelm drainage systems, while clogged or undersized drainage solutions may fail to divert water effectively, leading to water intrusion.
Q: What causes water intrusion in crawlspaces?
Signs of water intrusion in crawlspaces include standing water, damp walls and floors, and wet soil. A musty odor throughout the home, increased pest activity, and mold or mildew on floor joists, subfloors, and wooden supports can also indicate moisture issues.
