Questions from Indianapolis homeowners
Why is there water in my crawl space?
Usually surface water running toward the house, a high water table, or a plumbing leak. It needs pumping, drying and a drainage fix.
Who licenses contractors in Indianapolis?
The city and county, not the state. Check with the local licensing office before hiring.
Does it matter whether my home is on a slab, crawl space or basement?
Yes. On a slab, water spreads under flooring. In a crawl space it collects below the floor and raises humidity. In a basement it pools at the lowest point. Each needs a different drying plan.
