Q: Can water seep through cracks in the basement floor?

• <div><p>Yes, water and water vapor can seep through cracks in your basement floor, which means you should address all basement floor cracks, even if they don&rsquo;t indicate structural issues. Sealing settling cracks and shrinkage cracks is a good idea to keep water and moisture outside where it belongs. Doing so can improve your indoor air quality, reduce the risk of mold growth, make your home more comfortable, and help prevent pest infestation.</p></div>

Q: What are signs that I need to waterproof my basement?

• <div><p>Due to the nature of basements, some level of waterproofing is necessary to prevent water from seeping in and causing damage. Some definitive signs that your basement needs waterproofing measures or needs existing waterproofing measures need to be updated include:</p><ul><li><p>Water in your basement, including damp walls or puddles on the floor</p></li><li><p>Mold spots in your basement</p></li><li><p>Musty smells or odors</p></li><li><p>Warped doors or walls</p></li><li><p>Cracks in walls</p></li><li><p>Insect issues, such as cockroaches and termites</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Do crawl spaces attract bugs?

• <div><p>Yes, crawl spaces can attract bugs, especially since moisture tends to build up in the space, and moisture attracts pests. A good way to prevent pest infestation in your crawl space is to install a vapor barrier&mdash;called <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/seal-wet-crawl-space-encapsulation.htm">crawl space encapsulation</a>&mdash;on the interior to seal the space, along with a French drain or some other kind of foundation drainage system outside to keep runoff out of your crawl space. You can also seal foundation cracks and repair damages to cut off access to pests.</p></div>

Q: What are the benefits of foundation drainage?

• <div><p>Proper drainage prevents water damage, mold growth, and foundation settling, protecting your home&rsquo;s structural integrity.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep ductwork from sweating in a crawl space?

• <div><p>Ductwork sweats for the same reason you might find beading on your windows or why cold drinks drip in the heat&mdash;temperature difference. When you see your ductwork and you notice sweating, that's a sure sign that your system is not operating anywhere close to peak efficiency. The best way to keep ductwork from sweating is to wrap it in inadequate insulation. </p></div>
