Standing water on the roadways of Delmarva can signal disaster under your home

  So often when driving down the beautiful country roads around Delaware and Maryland’s Eastern Shore, I see flooded fields and roads. Sometimes, it hasn’t rained in days and still there is water everywhere. Being in the waterproofing business, I tend to think about what is going on in the houses nearby. If there is so much water in the fields and on the roads that it makes it hard to pass through, then surely there is water in the crawlspaces and basements. Its no surprise to me when I get to the office and see the phones lighting up with people calling for a free inspection. I think people are starting to figure out just how bad things can get under a house when there is water in the basement or crawlspace. Smells get worse which means that mold is spreading. People who are sensitive to allergens will notice their nose getting stuffed up, headaches out of the blue, and sneezing fits. If mold is the root of all of these symptoms then the solution is to lower the humidity and reduce the amount of mold spore in the air. Even wood rot and sagging or creaky floors can be linked to standing water under the house. It’s a scary thing to think of what might happen if this goes unchecked. The best thing you can do is pick up the phone and call DryZone for a free inspection.
