Check Out Your Crawl Space

     ACCA Basement Systems does not just do basements, but ACCA waterproofs crawl spaces as well.
     The effects of Groundwater in dirt crawl spaces can cause a big problem in your house.  The earth is damp, in crawl spaces that are dirt; your crawl space will never be completely dry.  As a homeowner, you can never dry the earth.  If you have a dirt crawl space, water vapor will most likely coming from your crawl space, and going into your home.  The Groundwater can seep and run through many crawl spaces, the water will probably not directly affect your house, but the water in the air will.
     Groundwater can seep into your crawl space causing in to seep into your home.  The water can go through cracks in poured walls.  It can also go right through brick walls and under the footing.  If the water is not noticed it can sit there in puddles.  If water is just sitting in a puddle in your crawl space the damp air will go up into your house which is similar to the Stack Effect that was talked about in another post.
     Make sure you look at your crawl space to see if it is a dirt crawl space, or you can call the experts at ACCA to take a look at it.  There could be a problem even if you can not see it.  ACCA will do a FREE inspection of your crawl space!
