Wet Basement Floors
Standing water on your basement floors is not only a hazard, but a direct sign of a moisture intrusion issue! Capable of causing negative health effects and safety concerns, water entering your basement spells trouble. Fortunately, we have a solution!
Concrete Cracking
If there are cracks present, and they are large or have a ragged appearance, the problem may be rooted in the foundation. If the cracks extend into the walls or the ceiling, this could be a sign that the foundation is weakened. Professional evaluation is recommended.
Dry Rot
High humidity and leaks around supply lines can create the perfect environment for wood rot fungi. A musty smell may indicate that you have wood rot. The odor will increase in strength and intensity as it spreads throughout the house.
Mold Growth
Some common signs of a wet basement are black or green mold, discoloration, or a musty smell. If you see clusters of mold growing, you may need a professional to help identify the severity of your mold infestation. Mold symptoms can also be the result of ceiling leaks.

The puddles accumulating on the dirt floor of your crawl space that may seem harmless are anything but safe. Water is the primary source of a majority of crawl space issues like mold growth, mildew, and rotting wood structures.
High humidity
Controlling the humidity levels is a critical part of preventing mold growth, pest infestation, and much more! Likewise, because of the Stack Effect, the air quality in the house may be affected by high crawl space humidity.
