Moisture Intrusion

[David C. Macy]

The home is 7 years old.

Is the moisture staining by the floor & poured wall from?

A) Potential block in footer drains?

B) From the small gap between the floor & wall?

C) Old moisture, no need to worry?

I used a meter and was about 18 to 20%.

How would you report this condition?

Thanks

I see effloressence on the concrete in pic#2. It looks to be recent, within a year or two, so I would report - Moisture appears to be weeping thru from outside, further evaluation is called for, then elaborate on possible sources.

I agree.

Looks like a cold pour crack that seeps. Was the sump pump pit full of water or was it running allot.

Recommend evaluation. Thats all you can do without speculating too much.
