Carpet Feels Damp After Rain

I did go outside and look along the wall that is damp and it appears the soil in the garden there is high above the foundation level and even with the weeping holes.

Carpet feels damp after rain.

Maybe i m going crazy but after a big rain my living room just feels damp. And eventually that water will reach your flooring and cause visible damage. When you have a leak in the slab foundation of your home that water accumulates and sometimes has nowhere to go but up. When i vacuumed the smell got worse temporarily.

I checked the attic and there are no signs of leaks or dampness. Staining and blistering of wall covering. If you have a wet vacuum go over the damp spot to take out as much of the moisture as possible. Odor mold and mildew.

Condensation on cold walls and floor in summer. Remove as much water from the damp carpet as possible using a wet vacuum. We have a crawl space under the entire house that is only accessed from the outside. We have a 2 story home and the ground level is the one that is wet.

The temporary fix was to rip up the carpet knock a hole in the concrete slab repair the leaking pipe fill in the hole with quickcrete cement and restretch the carpet once it and the pad had dried. The rooms upstairs are fine. Efflorescence spalling of concrete or masonry. If you have carpet throughout your home keep an eye out for damp areas or spots that suddenly appear.

It smells slightly mildewy and feels cold like there might be moisture. Work in small sections at a time. Damp carpet or warped hard flooring. If you don t have a wet vacuum dab the damp area with towels until it s feeling a little drier.
