Drainage Systems and Water Seepage
Don’t let your seepage or bad water drainage problems cause structural damage to your property and undermine your investment. Expansion and contraction of the soil can cause large cracks in your slab, driveway, walkways or stucco. If water drainage problems are left un-attended it can cause you and your family severe health problems. If moisture is allowed to build up inside or outside your house for long periods of time, it can create a mosquito infestation or severe mold problems.
It’s true that southern California has an almost perfect weather climate, but did you know health problems like asthma, allergies or frequent cold like symptoms are caused by mold? Mold is a minute fungus that builds up or is created when there is an excessive amount of dampness or humidity. This in turn can cause an undesired smell of mildew inside your house. In about 90% of the cases the problem is created by poor or inadequate dirt grading (dirt graded towards the house instead of away from the house which allows for water to just sit there). In some cases the drainage pipe is too small, too old and / or in bad condition to take the seasonal rain water. Drains may be plugged up or ruptured due to a bad tree root systems, bad maintenance, or even worse there is no drainage system to take care of the excessive rain water.
If you are experiencing the smell of rotten water or moisture, see black or dark like blemishes at the bottom of your dry wall, or have noticed that garments in your closet or basement have mildew stains on them you definitely might have a mold problem and it is most likely being caused by excessive moisture build up, against your house.
