WE HAVE THE EXPERIENCE
Moisture control is a critical element in maintaining a clean, safe, and structurally sound crawl space. Our commitment to excellence and our expertise in moisture management make us your go-to experts in this essential part of home maintenance. Moisture issues in crawl spaces are more common than you might think, and they can lead to a range of problems, including mold, wood rot, compromised indoor air quality, and more. Left unaddressed, excess moisture can jeopardize the structural integrity of your home and even impact the health of your family. The team at Crawl Space Specialists can help you prevent unwanted issues caused by moisture in your crawl space.
MOISTURE CONDITIONS
Mold and mildew can easily pop up on wood when moisture is present, and moisture conditions can be caused by plumbing leaks, damp soil, unsealed foundation walls, and foundation vents. Plumbing leaks in a crawl space can go unnoticed for a very long time, causing serious issues that encourage mold and mildew growth, leading to rot and damage to any wood in the crawl space. Another source of moisture is uncovered ground. Even if the ground looks very dry, it can be adding a lot of moisture to the crawl space air, causing insulation to sag or fall due to the amounts of water vapor released from the soil. When your crawl space has too much moisture, your home and your family’s safety can be compromised, but Crawl Space Specialists offer free inspections to help you determine the best course of action for your home.
Types of Moisture Control
At Crawl Space Specialists, we know that your home is unique, which means that your solution for moisture control within your crawl space should be unique, too! We offer multiple options for moisture control in crawl spaces to ensure your best protection and your home’s longevity.
A clean crawl space helps prevent moisture-related problems like mold, wood rot, and pest infestations. A clean and well-maintained crawl space also enhances the structural integrity of your home.
Mold remediation helps safeguard your health and your home's structural integrity. Mold can cause respiratory issues and allergies as well as compromise the strength of wood and other materials in your crawl space, potentially leading to costly structural damage.
A crawl space French drain will collect and redirect water away from the crawl space, preventing issues such as mold, mildew, and structural damage caused by excess moisture. The perforated pipe allows water to enter and flow freely, while the gravel provides a channel for water movement.
Crawl space encapsulation seals and insulates the space to prevent moisture, mold, and other problems from affecting the structure and air quality within the building. This process typically involves installing a vapor barrier, sealing air leaks, and insulating walls and floors to ensure better temperature regulation and air quality.
Sources of Moisture in Your Crawl Space
Moisture from the ground can cause water damage, as well as other inconvenient and potentially expensive issues if your crawl space isn’t properly insulated and vented.
Other Sources of Moisture:
Vents can also be a source of moisture, even though it was once believed that vents would help circulate air in a crawl space and keep it dry. Vents actually do the opposite, as hot humid air enters the crawl space mixing with the cooler air, it raises the relative humidity in the crawl space, causing condensation build-up on ductwork, which leads to many unwanted problems.
Foundation walls can also contribute to moisture problems. Most crawl spaces are not waterproofed during construction, so rainwater or water from outside irrigation can end up in the crawl space by seeping through the foundation walls. Standing water will lead to mold and mildew growth, which can rot and structural damage if not addressed properly.
If you think you have a problem with moisture control in your crawl space, give us a call and let us help you determine the problem with a free inspection! We offer full moisture control by installing French Drains, Sump Pumps, Encapsulations, Vapor Barriers, and so much more!
