What To Do About A Wet Crawl Space
If your crawl space has any type of moisture in it, that is a problem. Many people believe that crawl space vents will dry out any moisture in the crawl space, but this is not the case. Crawl space vents actually worsen the moisture issues in a crawl space by allowing water and humidity to come into the crawl space. Moisture in the crawl space can cause many issues, including:
- Mold growth throughout the crawl space and home
- Heightened allergies/ asthma
- Musty Odors
- Buckling or cupping hardwood floors
- Wood rot or rust
- Pest infestations
- Humidity throughout the home
Our solution is to seal the crawl space vents and condition the crawl space through crawl space encapsulation. We do this by sealing any open area in the crawl space, regrading the soil to make water flow towards a sump pump, placing a drainage matting, installing a CleanSpace vapor barrier, installing a SmartSump sump pump, and installing a dehumidifier. This keeps the crawl space dry, and protects the crawl space from flooding if a pipe burst in the home.
