A leaky, musty, mildew-ridden crawl space is not healthy to have underneath or on top of your house. Since the space is unfinished, it is vulnerable to decay. Decay is unhealthy and bad for the materials of the home.<\/p>\n
To keep your crawl space from looking like it’s straight out of a 1972 horror film, there are some ways to solve the common issues. Managing this area of your home is vital. Here are some common crawl space problems and what you can do about them.<\/p>\n
Attic ventilation is used to keep the air flowing through an attic. This protects the crawl space from damaging moisture. If conditions get wet enough, the problem can lead to sagging crawl space floors and ceilings in the house. Additionally, mold and mildew can take hold.<\/p>\n
To solve the moisture problem in the attic consider removing and replacing the old insulation<\/a>, mold remediation, crawl space ventilation, wood repair, and waterproofing. Install attic ventilation to force the air out of the space.<\/p>\n The unfinished crawl space of an attic can waste a lot of energy because hot air rises and the attic is directly exposed to the heat of the sun. You can get a thermal imaging test to be sure that the attic is a problem.<\/p>\n To better insulate your crawl space, install closed-cell or open-cell spray foam for the ceiling and walls of the attic. There are many options including fiberglass insulation, eco-friendly denim insulation, or cellulose insulation to improve your home’s overall energy efficiency.<\/p>\n It is not uncommon for crawl spaces to lack insulation. If your crawl space is underneath the home, it’s also directly exposed to insects and critters. You may not just have mold and rotting going on, but there could be feces and rodents to add to the unhealthy mix. <\/p>\n For more information on crawl space insulation<\/strong> please call Southeastern Crawlspaces<\/strong> today!<\/p>\n A leaky, musty, mildew-ridden crawl space is not healthy to have underneath or on top of your house.
