Waterproofing Crawl Spaces: Why Is Moisture An Issue?

Crawlspaces are open to the outside air and bare ground, to allow airflow, but this can also result in temperature and moisture gradients, another reason why high quality basement waterproofing in London properties is so crucial. During the summer months crawl spaces can experience high temperatures and humidity that allows moisture to accumulate, whereas the winter months can see frost and groundwater accumulation that can also cause moisture to build up in your crawl space. 

Our basement waterproofing team in London also informs clients that spring and autumn also have their moisture issues since there are frequent storms and raised water tables, meaning that moisture in crawl spaces is as bad as moisture in basements, so think about waterproofing them the same way you might consider waterproofing basements.
