Wet Crawl Spaces

By
Home Inspector with Allen's Pest Inspections

It seems like more & more homes that i inspect have standing water in the crawl space. A lot of the time its do to poor drainage around the house.

Other possible problems could be from the down spouts, underground springs & not having a sump pump that is hooked up & working. leaky pipes seem to also play a big factor in the moisture problem.

I always recommend to home owners that they should have an annual inspection for preventing these & other types of problems that could cause there family an inconvience & costly repairs after the damage is already done.

If you have any additional pionts or tips about wet crawls that could be helpful to all that will read this post, please feel free to leave your comment(s)

Sincerely

Everyone should have there personal home inspected once a year to help prevent or reduce these types of problems. Water is the sorce that will lead to mold, rot, termites & all other pests.
