What Affects Waterproofing in Oregon
The Portland area gets most of its rain between October and May, and long stretches of steady rain saturate the soil. Many homes have crawl spaces or basements that take on moisture during the wet season.
Hillside neighborhoods in the West Hills and around Lake Oswego and West Linn sit on slopes where groundwater moves toward foundations, and some slopes are prone to landslides in very wet winters.
Crawl space encapsulation, drainage and sump systems, and improved grading are common requests.
What to Check Before You Call
- Water in the crawl space during the rainy season
- Saturated soil on the uphill side
- Musty odors in winter
- Gutters overflowing during long rain events
