How to Choose a California Basement or Crawl Space Company

Wet basements and crawl spaces are a constant source of worry for homeowners. If you’ve experienced pooling water on the basement floor, excessive moisture in the crawl space, or cracks in your foundation or high humidity, it’s worth consulting with a professional basement contractor. An ounce of prevention can prevent a more serious problem. When the environment below the first floor of your home is wet, damp or humid, the resulting moisture and mold growth can damage building materials and stored possessions, pollute the indoor air, and risk the health of those living in the home.

Look for expertise, training, and experience.

When you choose a basement contractor in the Basement Systems network, you get a local company trained in and committed to the best waterproofing practices. Each contractor listed here is an expert in the diagnosis of sub-grade moisture problems as well as the design and installation of proper drainage, moisture and humidity control, and basement materials.

Why do California Basements Get Wet?

Weather factors: Californians keep a keen eye on the weather to understand the weather risks they may face in any given year. The level of snowpack and rainfall can vary, leading to droughts or above-average precipitation. In 2017, the Sacramento region experienced the “wettest year in a century” (Sacramento Bee), in 2005 the rarer "Pineapple Express" precipitation phenomenon dropped almost 25 inches of rain in the Santa Barbara area, and a milder instance of the same phenomenon caused plenty of damage in 2018.

Of course, you don’t have to experience a serious flood to worry about your basement. A short heavy rainfall can overwhelm a sump pump and the result can damage a basement in a few hours. 

Basement construction factors: Basements were never designed to stay dry all the time. They serve as a buffer layer between the living space in upper floors of a home and the earth. This makes them subject to hydrostatic pressure, which is a fancy term for the moisture in the soil that presses against the walls of a basement and overtime creates seepage and downright cracks in the foundation. The joint where the floor meets the wall is an especially vulnerable point in basement construction.

Whether your home is in the Bay area, Sacramento, Santa Barbara, or Southern California, your basement or crawl space is vulnerable to water intrusion. Water from the soils surrounding your home can seep through basement walls. Cracks in the foundation, rusty windows, issues with the original construction of the basement, or a deteriorating exterior drainage system can lead to water intrusion, high humidity and leaks. If your basement is experiencing any of these issues, it’s time for a consultation with a professional contractor with experience in fixing basements, crawl spaces, and foundations.
