Crawl spaces, the small areas beneath your home that typically exposed to bare dirt, also house pipes, cables, and support beams. These spaces are often only accessible by crawling, which is how they get their name.

Due to antiquated building codes, crawl spaces often have large, open vents to the outside, allowing even more moisture to enter. This, combined with the ease with which groundwater can seep through the dirt, puts crawl spaces at high risk for water damage. It’s important not to ignore a damp or musty-smelling crawl space, as over 40% of the air you breathe on the first floor of your home comes from this area.

Damp, humid crawl spaces can become breeding grounds for mold and mildew, impacting your home’s air quality and leading to allergy issues. Additionally, these conditions attract moisture-seeking pests like termites.
