Healthier, Cleaner & More Energy Efficient Environment

Did you know that conventional vented, dirt-floored crawl spaces are still permitted by building codes in many areas, despite the moisture, mold and wood rot problems they cause? The original purpose of crawl space vents was to circulate the stuffy air inside the crawl space with fresh air from outside. We know now that this system results in a dirty, damp and moldy crawl space that is not only less energy efficient but may also cause serious health threats to your family’s indoor air quality. Airborne dust mites and mold spores rising from damp crawl space and basement areas are among the most common indoor allergens and air pollutants found in homes. They could be negatively affecting your family’s health right now!

Signs of Crawl Space Problems

Signs of crawl space problems include:

  • Open crawl space vents
  • Cold floors above crawl space in winter
  • Visible mold or mold smell in crawl space
  • Dirty and damp crawl space insulation
  • Fiberglass insulation on crawl space floor
  • Standing water or wet areas on crawl space floor
  • Rotted wood and rusty metal surfaces
  • Insect or rodent pests in crawl space

To combat this problem, Crawl Space Care and leading building scientists recommend crawl space encapsulation or enclosure. It is the treatment that turns your stale, unhealthy crawl space into a clean, dry space where mold simply cannot grow. Don’t put up with a dirty, damp crawl space that smells moldy and stuffy! These unfavorable conditions can cause mold to grow and wood to rot; resulting in structural damage as well as harmful airborne mold spores.
