When was the last time you went down into your home’s crawl space? If you’re like most people, you try to avoid this dark, damp, and dirty area! Unfortunately, crawl spaces are prone to moisture accumulation and can reveal a lot about the health of your entire home. If flooding or high humidity is left unchecked here, it can result in mold growth, wood rot, insect infestation, and more. And because of the “stack effect,” the crawl space air can make its way through your whole home, potentially filling the air with allergens and hazardous mold spores.
