What Are the Signs of a Crawl Space Water Problem?

Odds are you’re not visiting your crawl space that often, or even thinking about it that much. So, you’re probably wondering how you’ll know if you’re dealing with water intrusion under your house.
Common signs of problems related to water in the crawl space that you’ll notice elsewhere in your home include:
- Mold growth on wood surfaces and HVAC ducts
- Musty, unpleasant odors
- Excessive dampness or humidity
- Wood rot
- Termite damage
- Pest or rodent infestation
- Buckling hardwood floors
- Soft, bouncy, or sagging floors
These symptoms and problems also can lead to other issues affecting the health, safety, and structural integrity of your house. A dirt crawl space that hasn’t been encapsulated can allow ground moisture to seep into the crawl space and increase the humidity level in your home. Standing water in the crawl space leads to moisture that causes mold, mildew, and wood rot. Crawl space humidity can cause discomfort, high utility bills, and aggravate allergies and asthma.
More than half of the air you are breathing in your house comes from the crawl space. Because of the stack effect – an airflow pattern in the home from bottom to top – whatever is in your crawl space like mold, dust mites, or humid air, also is circulating in the air throughout the rest of the house. So, your home could be making you and your loved ones sick.
Ways that Water Gets into Crawl Space
There are several ways water can infiltrate a crawl space, and it’s important to be thorough in investigating the source to properly address and fix the problem.
- Plumbing: Crawl spaces are convenient areas to run plumbing lines, so a pipe leak or burst could be the culprit behind the wet crawl space.
- The ground: South Carolina is notorious for its humidity and moisture issues, and it’s easy for water and moisture to seep through the ground of a dirt crawl space and lead to a host of problems.
- Block walls: If your home or crawl space was built with block foundation walls, water sitting behind these walls can easily saturate and seep through the porous material and find its way inside through any crack or gap. If water has nowhere to go, it starts building up inside the walls and will leak inside the crawl space.
- Poor drainage and grading: Rainwater dumps directly onto your foundation when gutters are clogged and overflowing. Similarly, blocked drains next to the foundation or above-ground gutter downspout conductor lines could allow water to puddle next to the home and find its way inside any crack or gap in the foundation walls. The soil next to your foundation settles over time and can do so at an angle sloping toward your foundation to allow water to collect by the walls and seep through.
- Open vents: Even though building code traditionally has called for crawl spaces to be vented for air drying purposes, this is extremely harmful to the crawl space and home. Open vents allow outside water, air, and pests inside to work together in creating the perfect home for mold and pest colonies. This is not healthy or safe for your home or your family.
