Q: Is it okay for a crawl space to be wet?

• <div><p>No, you don&rsquo;t want your crawl space to be wet because water and even moisture in the air under your home can attract insects and rodents, decrease your indoor air quality, increase your energy bills, promote mold growth, and even lead to structural damage. If you notice any signs of water or humidity in your crawl space, you should get the issues addressed immediately by contacting a professional. They can remove moisture and will know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-waterproof-your-basement.htm">how to waterproof your basement</a> to prevent ongoing problems. </p></div>

Q: What causes problems with crawl space foundations?

• <div><p>Crawl space foundation problems can stem from a few different issues, but the most common are moisture and water problems and soil instability. Moisture and water issues are often a result of poor drainage, which can lead to water intrusion and soil expansion and contraction, leaving your foundation under added stress. A few things can cause soil instability, including poor drainage, karst landscapes and resulting sinkholes, and poorly compacted soil during construction.</p></div>

Q: Can a leak outside cause damage to your house?

• <div><p>Yes, outside leaks can easily cause damage to your home if you don&rsquo;t have waterproofing measures in place. Regularly check your property for signs of a leak, ensure your home&rsquo;s landscaping is at least at a 5% slope, your basement windows are sealed, and you have an aligned gutter system to catch rainwater.</p></div>

Q: What material do you use to waterproof a basement?

• <div><p>&ldquo;Basement waterproofing&rdquo; sometimes refers to applying a waterproof sealant to basement walls, in which case you would use a waterproof paint, often made of latex. However, there are many methods you can use to waterproof a basement, including exterior drainage systems, interior drainage systems, dehumidifiers, and more. As such, the materials you use can vary depending on the methods you use.</p></div>
