Beneath Your Feet: What You Need to Know About Crawlspace Maintenance

While the idea of cozying up for a nap in your crawlspace might not appeal to you, it's important to maintain it properly to avoid potential issues.

The condition of your crawlspace can significantly impact your home's overall value and the health of its occupants.

Here are four indicators of a problematic crawlspace:

• Moisture: Excess moisture in crawlspaces can lead to mold growth on susceptible surfaces such as wood, drywall, and insulation.
• Mold: Moist conditions foster the growth of mold, which not only emits unpleasant odors but can also exacerbate respiratory issues like asthma.
• Pests: Neglected crawlspaces attract insects, reptiles, and other pests seeking shelter. Their presence can worsen odors and cause further damage.
• Rot: Mold and moisture create an environment conducive to rot, which can compromise structural elements like joists and beams, leading to structural issues throughout the home.
