The Negative Impact of a Wet Crawl Space on Your Home

If your crawl space is giving you issues, it will not only affect your crawl space itself, but it can even affect the rest of your home.

There are many clues that your home is being negatively impacted by a damp, nasty, and unhealthy crawl space. The air flows from your crawl space and makes its way into the upper levels of your home, bringing the humidity along and potentially wreaking havoc.

Here are the negative ways a damp or wet crawl space could be impacting the upper level or other areas of the house:

-            Dust mites are present, which means your allergies could be even worse than usual

-            Sticking doors or windows

-            Damp carpeting that smells bad

-            Your hardwood floors have started buckling

-            Your attic has condensation in it, has started to rot, or mold is present inside

-            Your cooling or heating bills have started to increase because damp air takes more energy to cool or heat

-            You notice mold upstairs

-            Your roof sheathing or shingles have started to deteriorate

If you notice that these issues have started to arise in your home, do not wait until they get worse.

We can help transform your crawl space using our crawl space encapsulation system, by insulating your crawl space, controlling the humidity with a dehumidifier, and even stabilizing the structure.

Our CleanSpace Encapsulation System will seal off a dirt crawl space and prevent water vapor from passing through. Insulating your crawl space will help lower your energy costs and make your home feel more comfortable overall.

Controlling the humidity with our SaniDry Sedona Dehumidifier means that up to 100 pints of water will be removed from your air per day. It can also filter out pesky particles from your air, ones even smaller than dust mite droppings or mold spores. Finally, we can restore the stability of your crawl space using our SmartJack crawl space supports. Sagging floors on the upper floor of your home will be a problem of the past with these in place.
