What Affects Waterproofing in Maryland
Southern Maryland, including Charles and St. Mary's counties, lies on the Atlantic Coastal Plain, with sandy and silty soils and a high water table near the Potomac and Patuxent rivers and the Chesapeake Bay's tributaries. Low-lying properties can take on water from rising groundwater as well as from rain.
Many homes sit on crawl spaces, and the humid summers make crawl space moisture and mold a common concern. Tropical storms and nor'easters bring heavy rain and, near the water, tidal flooding; Hurricane Isabel in 2003 pushed storm surge up the Chesapeake and its rivers.
Crawl space encapsulation, sump systems, drainage improvements and dehumidification are frequent requests here.
What to Check Before You Call
- Standing water or wet soil in the crawl space
- Musty odors in summer
- Water entering after tropical storms or nor'easters
- A high water table near rivers and creeks
