MOISTURE CONTROL

A big component that works against an adequate crawl space climate, as well as the home's foundation, is the presence of water.

Water and moisture beneath your home in the crawlspace is bad. It can lead to mold and poor breathing environment as the air from the crawlspace makes it way up into your home and through your vents. Moisture also has a way of deteriorating concrete at a faster rate when it is introduced or in constant contact with it. Efflorescence is a bi-product of water being in contact with the concrete for a prolonged period of time. This is the white flaky dust that occurs on the concrete when it has dried out to a certain level.

Installing a vapor barrier, sump pump system, and dehumidifier system are the best items to utilize to minimize excessive moisture and water in a crawl space. On top of these items being installed within the crawl space, adding necessary drainage around the perimeter of the home will minimize the amount of water that can enter into a crawl space.

Water intrusion is something that we must control to keep our home's and our health up. Being in a home that has excessive water intrusion will structurally compromise the home as well as compromising you and your family's health. Don't let your home fall victim to water damage.
