- Recently, I went to the construction site of our new house
- and found that there is a small pool of water in one corner
- of the crawl space (about 50 sqft and 0.5 ft deep). The house
- is almost finished (the closing date is on Nov 30). Since
- the last rain was a week ago, this may be a problem of poor
- drainage. This is the first time we ever brought a house.
- Should I be worry about this problem? Will this water in
- crawl space weaken the foundation? What measure should the
- builder take to correct this problem?
-
- I would like to hear your opinion and experience.
-
- Thanks a lot.
