Asheville’s Unique Challenges

Crawl space repair in Asheville, NC has it’s unique challenges when it comes to keeping basements and crawlspaces dry and safe.

High Humidity Levels: Asheville’s climate can be quite humid, especially during the summer months. High humidity levels create an ideal environment for mold growth and can lead to moisture buildup in crawl spaces and basements.
Poor Ventilation: Many crawl spaces and basements in Asheville are not properly ventilated. Lack of adequate airflow allows moisture to build up, which promotes mold growth and other moisture-related issues.
Groundwater Seepage: Asheville experiences considerable rainfall during the winter and early spring, which can cause groundwater seepage. Inadequate drainage around the foundation can allow water to enter crawl spaces and basements, creating damp conditions that are ideal for mold growth.
Construction Practices: Some homes in Asheville may lack proper moisture barriers or insulation. This can allow moisture from the soil to seep into crawl spaces and basements, raising the risk of mold and structural problems.

FAQ

What is the difference: french drain vs sump pump?

A sump pump actively removes water from a basement or crawl space and pumps it out of the home to prevent flooding. A French drain, consisting of a trench filled with gravel and a perforated pipe, redirects surface water and groundwater away from the building, preventing water from accumulating around the foundation.

Should a crawl space be vented?

The decision to vent a crawl space depends on the climate and specific conditions of the home. In humid climates, venting can introduce moisture, leading to mold and structural issues, so encapsulating and sealing the crawl space is often recommended. In drier climates, ventilation can help reduce moisture buildup by promoting air circulation.

How do I fix water in crawl space?

To address water issues in your crawl space, we begin by identifying and resolving the source of moisture, such as leaks or inadequate drainage. We often install a sump pump and perimeter drainage system to eliminate standing water and may encapsulate the crawl space with a vapor barrier to prevent future moisture intrusion. Additionally, using a dehumidifier can help maintain optimal humidity levels.

Does a french drain need an outlet?

No, a French drain does not require an electrical outlet as it relies on gravity to direct water away from problem areas. However, if a sump pump is included with the French drain system, an electrical outlet will be needed to power the pump.
