What Causes Standing Water in Crawl Spaces?

Toledo's clay soil and high water table make this a common problem.

  • Poor drainage around the foundation

    Rainwater flows toward the house instead of away from it

  • High water table

    Groundwater pushes up through the soil, especially in spring

  • Plumbing leaks

    Supply lines or drain pipes leaking under the house

  • Foundation cracks

    Water seeps through cracks in the foundation wall

Signs It's Getting Worse

Standing water doesn't just sit there—it causes damage every day.

Musty smell in the house that won't go away
Visible mold on floor joists or insulation
Floors starting to feel soft or bouncy
Increased humidity and condensation inside
Pest activity (mosquitoes, rodents, termites)
