A wet crawl space can damage your home and lead to many health issues, such as asthma and aggravated allergies. If the mold turns into rot, the structural integrity of the crawl space, and the entire home, will be put at risk. The structural support in the crawl space is crucial to the home, so it's imperative that everything stays in good condition.

Signs of a damp crawl space:

  • Doors and windows are sticking.

  • There is a musty smell in your home.

  • Hardwood floors above the crawl space are buckling or sagging.

  • There is condensation on windows.

  • There is mold on windows or other areas of the home.

  • Your energy bills are suddenly higher than usual.
