Leading Causes of Wet Slabs in Kinnelon Homes
Sprinkler System Malfunctions
Irrigation sprinklers that spray against the house can soak the slab edge and wall bases.
Plumbing Leaks Under the Slab
Supply and drain pipes under or inside the slab can crack or wear through and leak upward.
Failed or Missing Vapor Barriers
Slabs built without a vapor barrier, or with a damaged one, let ground moisture wick into the floor.
Poor Lot Grading and Drainage
Ground that slopes toward the house sends rainwater against the slab foundation.
