Local conditions
Why is crawl space drainage needed so often in Reno?
Reno crawl spaces collect water during snowmelt and spring storms, especially on lots that slope toward the house. Crawl space drainage carries it to a sump.
How is crawl space drainage done in Reno homes?
Fixing grading and gutters reduces how much water reaches the crawl space.
What should Reno homeowners know before booking water in a crawl space work?
A vapor barrier keeps remaining ground moisture out of the air.
Reno homes in the Old Southwest and on sloped lots in the northwest often see water enter crawl spaces through foundation vents and low spots during spring melt. Silt left behind after the water drains is a common clue.
Ask whether the plan includes regrading at vents, a sump at the lowest point and a vapor barrier laid after drainage is working.
