Water in your crawlspace can be caused by many sources. Over the last ten years there have been four things that have been consistently blamed for the water intrusion.
These are:



#1 The grade of the lot slopes toward the house.
#2 The downspouts drain too close to the house.
#3 The sprinklers are too close to the house.
#4 You are over watering
While all of these are factors, fixing all of these contributors may not help eliminate the standing water. Without understanding the underlying issue the solution will not fix the problem. The #1 factor with standing water in the crawlspace is heavy clay soil.
