Crawlspaces

What's in your Crawlspace?

Most homeowners don't think about the crawlspace located under their house. It is only when a problem makes itself known when a serious problem is discovered.

Dirt crawl spaces are pretty much the same as having a dirt floor in your home. Moisture from the water table seeps up through the soil and into your crawlspace, making the air in the area very humid. The average crawl space sucks ten gallons of water per day into your house. It's a perfect breeding ground for mold, mildew, and harmful bacteria.

Maybe you have even tried a few do-it-yourself solutions like installing a dehumidifier that seems to constantly run. That's because there's always water in the ground. Your crawlspace acts just like a sponge and it just fills up again with humidity from the earth the second you remove it from the dirt crawl space. Basically, you're paying to endlessly suck moisture from the earth.

If you've already installed plastic sheeting in your crawlspace - this is a fairly common low-end solution - then you might notice you're still having issues like slime or algae growing on the plastic, nesting vermin and insect infestations, or humid air that seeps up into your home and causes condensation on windows. This is because the plastic acts as a temporary barrier but the water is still in your crawl space.

Sometimes a crawlspace is constantly inundated with water. Although not that common, when it does happen it can be disturbing; especially if the water keeps streaming through and rising higher and higher. If there's already a sump pump installed it may be running night and day. How much are you paying to relentlessly remove what will naturally come back to replace itself?

Does your sump pump keep turning on?

Have you questioned whether you should get home air quality testing or residential air quality testing done on your property?

Are you frustrated by condensation on all your window frames and looking for a way of preventing it from happening again?

Tired of working on sump pump problems especially those that keeping backing up the toilet or main sewage line when it continually runs?

Are you concerned about the humidity in your home that may be coming from your basement or crawl space?
