Warning Signs of Trouble in Your Crawl Space or Basement

There are many warning signs that your basement or crawlspace may have an issue related to moisture. When you crawl space or basement has problems with moisture seepage, it can create several forms of damage. Moisture and humidity can contribute to the damages effects of rotten wood, including wooden support beams and floor joists.

We always remind our valued customers that those wooden supports and floor joists partially support the weight of your home’s structure. When the joists begin to rot, you may notice uneven floors and uneven rooms. Additionally, water present in a basement or crawlspace will create an environment suitable for the development of mold and mildew, which are widely known to to the root of a variety of medical problems.

Common warning signs you have a damp crawl space:

• Water standing around the footing of the home
• Uneven or sloping floors on the lower floor your home
• Musty scents coming from below your home
• Unexplained health problems
• Insects and pests are colonizing the crawlspace

How To Fix Crawl Space Moisture

You should be enjoying the advantage of our custom drain systems and sump pumps, which are a standard crawl space waterproofing system.

If your crawlspace or basement has standing water after rain, American Crawlspace Solutions can install an electric sump pump system to quickly and automatically remove water from beneath your home. These water diversion systems stop water from collecting in the crawl space under your home and causing damage to wooden beam and joists located beneath your home. Our custom drainage system consists of a pipe which is installed beneath the home. Whenever precipitation seeps into the pipe, it is directed into a sump pump which will ultimately pump the water out and away from the home to a safe distance away from the home. To assist with high humidity in the crawl space, we can install an automated dehumidifier to remove moisture from the air.
