Wet, soggy ground. Moisture-soaked
ground is very common in Wilmington, Southport, Hampstead,
Leland, Burgaw, along the Cape Fear river and surrounding
communities in Southeastern North Carolina. It is usually
pretty easy
to
spot, and very easy to feel. This
symptom is the usually the result of undesirable sloping.
Because gravity pulls water in a downward motion, it does
not run uphill, and therefore collects where it cannot flow
away from the property. Lawn mowers often partially sink
into wet, soggy ground and leave tracks. Children and pets
playing in wet, soggy areas often track dirt and mud back
into the house. And fungus, mold and mildew grows in
wet ground.
Puddles or standing water. Water
should drain from all locations in your yard. If a
puddle remains longer than 30 minutes after a rainstorm ends,
you
probably
have a drainage
issue. Puddles remaining in the yard for long periods
of time make good breeding grounds for mosquitoes.
Water flowing under the house. In
some cases, a drainage problem results in water from the
yard actually flowing into
the home. The problem usually appears as either wet
carpet or flooring around a door, or around the outer wall
of the
home. Mold, fungus and mildew can
cause a host of problems including respiratory and
allergenic problems and thrive in damp areas. The infrastructure
of the house can be greatly affected by moist conditions
underneath. Wood rot, termites, mold and fallen insulation
love under-house humidity and dampness and can cause a host
of nightmares that can otherwise be prevented.
