When you tell people on vacation where you are from, their first thought is rain. Seattle and the Pacific Northwest is deeply embedded in rain stigma, and there is NO getting around it. In fact, Seattle has an average of 154 days of rain/snow a year. While it is beautiful to watch the rain fall from inside our homes, we should focus on the possibility of flooding or standing water in our crawlspaces and basements. It is easy for moisture to invade our home, it gets in through many tiny cracks and crevices. Crawlspace flooding can also be caused by plumbing issues, and various issues with with landscaping or building structure. Water damage in your crawlspace can provide a new home for wood destroying organisms, cause air quality issues, swelling in hardwood floors, and many more problems.
Sump pump systems can provide a solution for your home. In the most basic explanation, trenches are dug, leading the water to the sump pump, which pushes it out of the crawl.
If you want to find out if you have standing water issues, it is as simple as poking your head in the crawl and seeing for yourself. After that, give us a call to do the work.
