Know the Signs

Early Warning Signs Charleston Homeowners Miss

Catching one of these early usually means a smaller repair bill and a lot less stress for Charleston homeowners.

01

Damp, Earthy Odor

If the basement smells damp no matter the season, water is likely finding a way in somewhere you can't see.

02

Hairline Wall Cracks

Stair-step cracking in block foundations is one of the most common early signs our Charleston crews see.

03

Powdery Residue on Walls

That white powder on basement walls is mineral residue left behind as water passes through the concrete.

04

Pump Sounds Overworked

A Charleston sump pump that never rests is usually undersized or nearing the end of its life.

05

Bowing Basement Walls

A wall that's starting to bow is a structural issue on top of a water issue β€” this jumps to the front of our Charleston schedule.

06

Soft Spots in the Floor

These upstairs clues usually show up months after the basement moisture problem actually started.
