"As a new homeowner, you want to make sure that whoever you’re dealing with treats your concerns with a level of concern and importance as if it were their home. James Jones did that for us. He was thorough in his inspection and provided clarity that our concern with our garage wasn’t as bad as another company had made it seem. He never pushed a sale on us, which made us want to move forward with doing business with Groundworks. Very knowledgeable and answered every question that my husband and I had. I’d recommend James Jones to anyone and everyone that needs his expertise. Thanks James for all your help!"
Common Causes of your Crawl Space Problems in Reading
Moisture and Humidity
Excess moisture and high humidity levels in the crawl space can lead to mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage. This often results from poor ventilation or water seepage.
Poor Drainage
Inadequate drainage systems can cause water to accumulate around the foundation, leading to water infiltration and increased moisture levels in the crawl space.
Open Crawl Space Vents
Open vents allow outside air and moisture to enter the crawl space, which can lead to condensation, mold growth, and pest infestations.
Foundation Cracks
Cracks in the foundation can compromise the structural integrity of your home by allowing water infiltration, which can lead to further deterioration and instability.
Plumbing Leaks
Leaks from plumbing systems can saturate the soil around the foundation, leading to erosion and weakening of the structure.
Understanding these common causes can help you take proactive measures to protect your crawl space and maintain the overall health of your home.
