\u201cIt’s dry now, but after that last hard rain, there was water underneath.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n That’s useful information when we arrive at a Wilmington home for a Crawl Space Waterproofing inspection. We don’t necessarily need the puddle to still be there. If enough water moved beneath the house, there’s a good chance it left something behind that can help us figure out where it traveled.<\/span><\/p>\n We start by asking the homeowner to show us roughly where the water appeared. Then we open the crawl space, get underneath the house, and start looking for the storm’s leftovers. If water keeps appearing beneath your Wilmington home after heavy rain, contact Crawl Space Ninja online<\/a> to schedule an inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n Homeowners usually know the general area even if they can’t pinpoint it from underneath the house. They may tell us it was \u201cunder the kitchen,\u201d \u201ctoward the back corner,\u201d or \u201csomewhere on the driveway side.\u201d That’s enough to give us a place to start, but we still have to translate what makes sense upstairs into the completely different view we get from the crawl space.<\/span><\/p>\n Once we’re underneath, walls and rooms disappear. Now we’re navigating by piers, plumbing, ductwork, foundation walls, and whatever else we can use as a reference. The wet spot the homeowner remembers being near the kitchen may put us several piers beyond the crawl space access.<\/span><\/p>\n By the time we reach that area, the water itself may be gone. Instead of searching only for a puddle, we slow down and start looking at what the last Wilmington downpour left behind.<\/span><\/p>\n \nShow Me Where You Saw the Water<\/span><\/h2>\n
