Water under your house shouldn't be ignored

A damp subfloor can sometimes go unnoticed until other symptoms begin appearing inside the home.

Persistent moisture beneath a property may contribute to musty smells, humidity and mould, and can indicate that water isn’t draining away from the building effectively.

Rather than simply removing the water, it’s important to determine why it is collecting beneath the property in the first place.

Signs of a subfloor drainage problem

If these problems keep returning, the property’s drainage system should be investigated.

What causes water to collect under a house?

Subfloor moisture can have several possible causes. Common drainage-related issues include:

The goal isn’t simply to remove standing water, it’s to understand why it is there and help prevent it from continually returning.
