Crawl Space Repair

Most people don’t think much about their Crawl Space Repair, but these spaces are actually very important to your home’s health and safety. The space below your foundation is where tradesmen like plumbers, electricians, and HVAC experts access your home’s systems and mechanics.

The problems that most commonly happen with crawl spaces are usually caused by moisture intrusion or poor ventilation. This can lead to mold and mildew growth, pest infestations, rotting floor joists and structural damage.

Crawl space mold is a common problem that can cause serious harm to your home and your family’s health. It can also affect your home’s air quality and cause allergies or respiratory issues.

Crawlspace Repair: Why It’s Important and How to Know When You Need It

If you are noticing any of these symptoms, it’s best to call in a professional for a thorough inspection and repairs. They will be able to inspect the area, remove any debris, and install proper ventilation.

During an inspection, they will wear a respirator so that they can properly inspect the crawl space without exposing themselves to rodent droppings that may be infected with hantavirus. Inhaling these droppings could result in severe respiratory conditions and even death.

Water damage is another common problem in crawl spaces that can lead to a multitude of other issues. Water can penetrate into your crawl space from a variety of sources including plumbing leaks, cracks in your foundation wall, and wet insulation.

A common solution to these issues is waterproofing or encapsulation of your crawl space. This process will eliminate any present moisture, and it will also prevent water from getting into your crawl space in the future.
