Check The Maintenance Records

How to check for moisture under my house?

Moisture under your house can be a major problem, leading to structural damage, mold, and other issues. If you think you may have moisture under your house, it's important to check the maintenance records to see if any repairs have been made in the past. This can help you determine the cause of the moisture and the best way to fix it.

Here are some things to look for when checking your maintenance records:

• Any repairs to the foundation, crawlspace, or basement. These repairs may have been made to fix leaks, cracks, or other problems that could allow moisture to enter your home.
• Any installations of sump pumps or other drainage systems. These systems are designed to remove water from your home and help prevent moisture problems.
• Any maintenance or repairs to your HVAC system. A leaky HVAC system can also contribute to moisture problems.

If you find any red flags in your maintenance records, it's important to have a professional inspect your home to determine the cause of the moisture and recommend the best way to fix it.
