The most common problem sign of crawl space and foundation water problems is the presence of water. Both standing water and condensation are clear indicators that you have a breach somewhere which is allowing water to get in. Something as minor as humid or moist air can also become a major problem if ignored.
Another problem sign is efflorescence, a white flaky substance that accumulates on crawl space and foundation blocks and indicates moisture trapped inside. Musty smells and mold growth are other common issues we see in foundations and crawl spaces in Austin and the surrounding area.
Causes of Water Damage in Austin
Water can cause significant irreversible damage to the structural integrity of your building by weakening or rotting floor joists, timber piers, and other components of your property. Hydrostatic pressure is another concern because enough water can build up to the point that it causes your crawl space or foundation to crack. The damage caused by water will continue to grow worse, and the costs for repair will only go up the longer you wait.
Furthermore, water can promote the growth of hazardous mold and mildew and increase your overall electricity costs because your air conditioner will run longer to eliminate the rising humidity.
Waterproofing Solutions in Austin
When you waterproof your crawl space or foundation, you are taking a step to prevent damage in the future. At FSS, we utilize interior and exterior waterproofing solutions to provide the maximum amount of protection for your property.
Our exterior waterproofing solutions include curtain drains and drainage system extensions that keep water away from your home and out of your crawl space and foundation. We also offer interior waterproofing services such as vapor barriers, indoor drains, caulk, and waterproof coatings for added protection.
A wet foundation or crawl space should be of immediate concern because of all the hazardous conditions it can create. Everything from small cracks caused by hydrostatic pressure and poor drainage to expanding clay soil and poor construction can contribute to the presence of water in your foundation or crawl space. The only way to guarantee your property remains protected from the potential consequences of water is to install interior and exterior waterproofing solutions like the ones we offer.
At Foundation Support Specialists, our expert technicians have years of experience in the Austin waterproofing industry. You can count on us to identify the cause of your wet crawl space or foundation and implement the best possible solutions for your specific needs.

We had 8 piers replaced under out home by FSS. Clint S. Was our foreman and he was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. Justin H and Jose N were also on the job and completed everything in a timely manner. They were able to lift the home and get everything much closer to level than before. Being aware of a lot of weight in the home and making sure not to damage anything inside was something the entire team was conscious of. Their tact and care was obvious. That being said, make sure to reread your contract and ensure that you're getting exactly what the salesman tells you, as we were slightly led astray and promised things verbally that weren't notated in the contract.

Foundation Support Specialists helped me reset the value of my home. The drive way and side walk had shifted over 9” in one location and looked off enough to create stress from potential home buyers and investors. Jarred took care of demonstrating my home foundation was stable, and broke out what they could do to make repairs on my walkway and driveway. Justin and Ryan did excellent work as well as presenting themselves as experts in their craft and very professionally. I highly recommend this organization if you are looking to get the job done right the first time!

I can only speak to the Service end as my wife set up the appointment and work to be done. Moses, Mark V, and Danny were great. They were professional and worked very hard. Danny kept me informed at every stage and gave me *and my wife via Facetime* some valuable advice and recommendations. So, in the end, yeah, I trust these guys. They were very sincere and honest in all transactions and communications. AND they finished early!

It was a great experience, having Robert, Stanford, David, and Chris setting our minds at ease from start to finish. The work was incredibly profession, and their demeanor was exceptional.
