Our grandparents dealt with asbestos, parents, and radon when buying a home. Those are still factors but today we have mold to contend with when purchasing a property. The countless examples of health ailments and even fatalities related to mold exposure are terribly disconcerting.
The basement waterproofing system, aka "drain-tile system" installed by Statewide Basement Systems, will provide a proper solution for water & moisture problems in the crawlspace & basement.
When soils have been taxed to the point where the soils ability to percolate at a fairly quick pace the groundwater naturally goes to the next available area offering the least resistance. Since cement is porous and many of our homes' foundations are sub-grade, they provide an obvious place to infiltrate.
The pressure continues to build in a particularly "wet" event (rainstorm or snow thaw), hence, a more forceful pressure is exerted against the foundation or buildings footprint.
Crawlspaces are sometimes overlooked
by home inspectors, so be sure your inspector has
done a thorough inspection and you are fully informed.
Nobody likes surprises, especially after the purchase of a
property.
Other questions you might want to ask:
Is the work guaranteed?
How long has the company been in business?
Do you have the necessary insurance to perform the work on my home?
Perhaps obvious questions to many, but some folks still do not ask these basic questions of their Home Inspectors.
