Got Water Under Your House? 

 How to Assess and Correct Water Problems in a Crawl Space 

 Water in your home’s crawl space is more than just an annoyance. Standing water or even just ever-present moisture in the air can create mold problems that lead to chronic health issues for your family. At the extreme end, water in a crawlspace can lead to rot and decay that weaken structural members and make major architectural repairs necessary. The presence of moisture can also foster termites, carpenter ants, and other pests that can damage your home and affect your quality of life. 

The Spruce article here will help you identify the source of your water problems and whether you can do it yourself.
