Our team at AdvantaClean of Cabarrus and Rowan Counties knows you care about your home or business, and we want to help you take good care of it. In our experience, many buildings develop foundation drainage issues over time, so we offer our services to correct these issues. In this article, we’ll explain what signs to look for to determine whether your home or business has foundation drainage issues.
- Sinking Ground – One way to determine if you have foundation drainage issues is to look at the ground around the perimeter of your home or business. The ground should be level all around the outside—if there are noticeable dips or areas of sinking, then you should give us a call, because there is definitely a problem with your foundation.
- Moisture in Crawlspace – You should also check your crawlspace when checking for foundation drainage issues. If the crawlspace is noticeably damp or humid—if the air feels moist or there is condensation on the crawlspace walls—then you have a problem. Our team offers a range of options for crawlspace encapsulation to prevent this moisture from damaging your crawlspace or foundation.
- Puddles – A third thing to check for to determine if you have foundation drainage issues is pooling water or puddles around your home or business. If water is pooling near your foundations, then you have a drainage problem. Our team can adjust the grade of your yard to encourage water to flow away from the building, and we can implement other measures to prevent water from damaging your foundation.
