Visible cracks can be a sign that water is infiltrating and weakening the structure.
Stains on exterior walls or ceilings often indicate water seepage.
This can occur when water has penetrated the foundation and affected the flooring materials.
Persistent dampness or a musty smell in the basement or crawlspace is a clear sign of water intrusion.
These spots around the foundation suggest poor drainage and potential water accumulation.
Soil erosion or settling around the foundation can indicate water is not being properly diverted away from the home.

I'm very happy I went with Environmental Waterproofing. After calling a few companies, I chose this company because they sounded more professional on the phone than the others. The advisor they sent confirmed what I had suspected and wrote me a quote. I ended up going with it. They sent a small team to tackle all the work. They were in my house for several days, and they were respectful the whole time. And in the end, it appears they solved my problem. So, while I hope I never have to hire them again, I'm happy I called them, and I am happy to recommend them. Thanks, Environmental Waterproofing!
