Protect Your Home From Moisture Damage
Moisture in a crawlspace can cause significant issues including structural damage from wood decay, fungi and pest infestations, leading to respiratory problems, and increased energy bills due to compromised insulation.
What We Look For
- Structural Damage: Moisture promotes wood rot, which weakens floor joists and support beams, leading to sagging floors, uneven surfaces, and even potential foundation issues. It also causes metal components to rust and corrode.
- Pest Infestations: High humidity and dampness in crawl spaces attract pests like termites, carpenter ants, wood-boring beetles, and rodents, which further damage wooden structures and introduce health hazards.
- Poor Indoor Air Quality: As much as 50% of the air in a crawlspace can move into the living area, carrying mold spores, allergens, and musty odors that degrade indoor air quality.
- Increased Energy Bills: Wet insulation becomes less effective, causing your home to lose more heat in the winter and requiring more energy to cool in the summer.
