We're in the process of buying a newly built home & planned to
close on this
Fri. 05/21.
1.) During inspection, I found a few wet spots on the concrete walls of the garage (West wall).
When I checked the wall from behind (in the crawlspace - East wall), I found the concrete blocks also had some water spots & wet soil.
2.) On further inspection, I found several wet spots on the south wall (~ 40%) of the crawlspace.
3.) Besides, I also saw moisture/ condensation around A/C ducts, pipes, etc. & several water poodle on the ground that is covered with plastic sheet.
In general, the ground seems quite moist below the plastic sheet even when there was no rain last week.
The builder says the wet spots could have been formed while watering the sod close to the wall. And the condensation was due to high temperature & humidity last week.
Have you seen/experienced similar situation on the walls of crawlspace? Is water around HVAC pipes, ducts, hose normal? If the ground is covered by plastic, won't it restrict the evaporation?
I'm quite worried since the closing date is
this Fri. Thanks for your time & comments.
