What Affects Waterproofing in North Carolina
The Charlotte area is on the Piedmont, where red clay soils drain slowly and keep moisture against foundations. Many homes are built on crawl spaces, and in hot, humid summers vented crawl spaces can pull in moisture that condenses on framing and ductwork.
Heavy thunderstorms and the remnants of tropical systems can bring intense rain, and sloped lots around Lake Norman and the Catawba River send runoff toward foundations.
Crawl space encapsulation, dehumidification, drainage improvements and sump systems are among the most common requests.
What to Check Before You Call
- Musty crawl space odors
- Condensation on ducts and pipes under the house
- Water pooling near the foundation after storms
- Wood rot or mold on floor joists
