Water pools around your foundation because it is trapped by undisturbed soil within the perimeter of excavation. This may cause water to leak into the basement and cause basement walls to bow or crack if an interior drain and sump pump system is not installed. Charlotte NC foundation repair companies install foundation drainage to prevent soil beneath footings, walls, and slabs, from eroding.
Running or pooling water are not the only causes of foundation problems. Even vapor can also compromise the foundation of your home. Vapor in the air can cause mold growth and lead to rot.
