Whether you have an older or newer house, you can have all kinds of problems with your basement waterproofing or crawlspace drainage when it comes to humidity, water intrusion, and outside drainage issues. Our soil is red clay – also called ultisol– and is as hard as pavement when dry, and a dang mess when wet. Water doesn’t drain on its own, and sometimes waterproofing services are the homeowner’s only recourse.
When You Need a Pro
You need Dry Otter Waterproofing before you have a problem. Why? Because calling us after the problem turns up means you generally also have an insurance claim, and that insurance claim comes with a deductible that comes out of your pocket. Don’t let your problem get to the point where you have standing water in your basement or crawl space. Not only can it cause mold, but it can also rot your footers and floor joists, and compromise your foundation.
Simple fixes like crawl space encapsulation, extended downspouts that move water away from the foundations, and other measures can help! Wouldn’t you rather spend that money on a kitchen remodel and a new bathroom? Letting a problem like this go just because crawl spaces solutions, grading, and French drains don’t sound as much fun pretty many guarantees that will happen.
