Frequently Asked Questions
How long does crawl space waterproofing last?
The lifespan of crawl space waterproofing largely depends on the materials used and your home’s specific conditions. At R&R Foundation, we use premium materials and provide expert installation, ensuring your waterproofing system lasts 10-20 years or more with proper maintenance. We also recommend regular inspections to keep your system performing at its best and protect your home for years to come.
Why is water coming through my floor?
Water coming through your floor is often a sign of moisture seeping in from below, typically through your crawlspace or foundation. Common causes include:
- High Water Table: When the ground around your home becomes saturated, water can seep upward through cracks in the foundation or floor.
- Poor Drainage: If your yard slopes toward the house or the drainage system isn’t working properly, water may flow toward and under your foundation.
- Crawlspace Moisture: Excess moisture in the crawlspace can rise and cause dampness or water to appear on your floor.
- Cracks in the Foundation: Cracks or gaps in the foundation can allow water to enter, especially during heavy rainfall.
To address this, waterproofing solutions like sump pumps, vapor barriers, and foundation crack repair can help keep water from entering and protect your floors.
How do I stop water from coming into my home?

Why does my crawl space smell?
A musty or unpleasant smell in your crawl space is usually caused by excess moisture, which can lead to mold, mildew, and decaying organic material. Common culprits include poor ventilation, standing water, or water seepage through the foundation.
At R&R Foundation, we address the root cause by installing vapor barriers, improving drainage, and sealing any cracks. Our solutions help reduce moisture and eliminate odors, keeping your crawl space dry, healthy, and odor-free.
