The most common problem we encounter on the Peninsula is water intrusion or moisture in the crawl area of the dwelling. The second most common problem we see is water coming through retaining walls, and lastly is exterior ponding water.

Water in a crawl area often compromises the structural integrity of the dwelling’s foundation and can cause health risks, particularly when mold develops.

In expansive soils (clay), contraction and expansion through the seasonal changes can cause cracking of drywall or plaster, doors to stick, interior floors to buckle, and other associated problems. In many cases, moisture enters the dwelling through the floor promoting substantial mold growth on the exterior walls.

There are usually several options to mitigate unwanted water, from perimeter drainage systems to sump pumps (including battery back-up pump systems).
