Causes of a Wet Crawlspace

If the crawlspace in your home is wet, you most likely want to know why. While the precise reason for wetness in a crawlspace can be determined only by an expert, there are some very common reasons for excessive moisture in a crawlspace. The first reason is that crawlspaces inherently attract more moisture and humidity than any other part of the house. Some of the other factors that should be considered include:

• Roof water that is falling too close to your house, soaking the soil around the house.
• Incorrectly positioned downspouts
• Rising water tables are a common reason for moisture and puddling
• Homes built at the bottom of a slope sometimes have problems with rainwater flowing down and pooling around the foundation.
• Poor drainage or ventilation
