In fact, most people with diverticulosis do not have symptoms. However, diverticulosis can sometimes cause unexplained painful cramps, bowel movement disturbances, and blood in the stool. The narrow opening of a diverticulum can bleed, sometimes heavily, into the intestine and out through the rectum.
Our first step in waterproofing your crawl space is to create a perimeter drainage channel along the interior edge of your foundation walls. Any water entering from your floor (or through the walls themselves) is collected in this drainage system, which is pitched downwards to a sump pump.
Interior basement walls should be scrubbed free of mildew or mold and then primed with a waterproofing paint that is suitable for the surface. Two to three coats of a sealant may be necessary. Crawl space foundations are easily waterproofed by gluing a thick sheet of plastic to the ground and walls. This will help keep ground water from leaking in through the crawl space. Drylok may also be applied to the walls of a crawl space to further prevent water damage. See also: Preventing Basement Moisture.
