Common signs of crawl space flooding and moisture

  • Visible damage in the crawl space or living area, caused by moisture and mold growth
  • Strong odors. The living area has a musty, foul smell
  • Noticeable condensation on HVAC ducts and/or equipment
  • Condensation on insulation, pipes or trusswork in the crawl space
  • Damage to hardwood floors. Buckling and coloring due to moisture
  • High levels of humidity in living space
  • Pest and insect infestations
  • Wood rot

How Does Water Get Into a Crawl Space?

During a soaking rain, water absorbs into the soil causing pressure changes. After the ground is saturated, water begins moving to the lowest grade.

Due to the porous nature of concrete, rainwater is able to soak through the foundation walls, which leads to eventual condensation in the crawl space.

Hot and humid climates like North Carolina naturally lead to moisture build up in the crawl space. The hot, moisture laden air enters the crawl space through foundation vents. This air can then cause condensation to form on HVAC ducts, flooring and insulation.

Can I Prevent Water from Getting Back In?

Your crawl space will always have mold and moisture problems unless you stop the problem at the source. Homes built on flat or negative grades will eventually experience water intrusion from ground saturation. Most homes built on this kind of lot have French drains installed to handle moisture problems. Unfortunately, this will never solve the issue of water migrating under the French drain and footing of the interior crawl space.

The only viable solution is an Interior Drainage System, installed to collect and remove water entering your Hillsborough crawl space.

Steps of Foundation Waterproofing
