Symptoms of a Waterproofing Problem

If you suspect a water issue, watch for these warning signs:

1. Standing Water or Damp Floors – Puddles, wet spots, or constant dampness on your basement or crawl space floor indicate water intrusion.
2. Warped or Bowing Walls – Moisture can seep into drywall and concrete, causing walls to bulge, crack, or weaken over time.
3. Cracked Foundation or Uneven Floors – Water damage can lead to cracks in the concrete, rotting wood beams, and even a sinking or sloping floor.
4. Rotting Wood or Structural Decay – Excess moisture causes wooden supports and beams to weaken, leading to serious structural damage.
5. White, Chalky Stains on Walls – Water leaves behind mineral deposits (efflorescence), which appear as white, powdery streaks on walls and floors.
6. Musty Odors or Mold Growth – A damp, earthy smell or visible mold and mildew indicate prolonged moisture problems that can impact air quality and health.
