What Causes Crawl Space Leaks?
Water in the crawl space can be a pretty serious problem. Before we look at problems that could occur after a crawl space leak, let’s see how these happen.
1. Improper Grading for Surface Water
If your home isn’t properly graded, water can get trapped against the foundation. Water may find its way into the crawl space if this occurs during a stronger rainstorm.
Furthermore, if this water gets high enough, it can turn the vents of your crawl space into spouts for more water to find its way in.
2. Foundation Cracks and Gaps
A house settles as it ages. While this process is common in all homes, it sometimes causes cracks or damage to the foundation.
Any cracks and gaps that develop during this process make it possible for water to seep into the crawl space.
3. Water and Sewer Line Malfunction
Our homes have vast volumes of water flowing in and out every day. In via water pipes and out via sewer lines. Water heaters are also connected through different lines to the municipal water source.
If any of these lines get damaged or clogged, the line can leak a tremendous amount of water into your house without you even realizing it.
Dangers of Crawl Space Leaks
Wooden Beams Damage
Once wood gets in contact with water, it begins absorbing it. Then, wooden beams will warp or expand, eventually causing uneven floors. In worst-case scenarios, wood can rot, which severely compromises the structural integrity of your property and is very expensive to fix.
Foundation Cracks
Aside from wood, crawl spaces also have concrete walls and pillars. As the concrete ages, it becomes porous and softer, meaning it can absorb more water. When this happens, the concrete expands and contracts, causing cracks to form. If this situation goes unchecked long enough, you get severe damage to your foundation, and the house could eventually collapse.
Mold and Mildew Growth
Mold can be toxic, with the health risks including respiratory infections, breathing problems, and chronic lung problems. Mold can also grow on and damage your home’s drywall, paint, and other structural elements.
Pests Infestation
In crawl spaces, pests have all the leeway to form colonies undisturbed. Termites eat away at the wood making the foundation of your home, and if they are at it long enough, the wood will be significantly weakened and might collapse, taking your house or parts of it down.
