About 30 minutes outside the city of Nashville lies a beautiful city called Springfield. In this city, people laugh, play, work, and retire. But sometimes, the rain or humidity can ruin a good day.
That same rain and humidity can also ruin a good home.
Springfield is not near a major body of water, so the risk of flooding is relatively low. However, just because the rain doesn’t damage your floors inside the home doesn’t mean it isn’t causing damage outside the home. And this damage doesn’t always stay outside.
Humidity and leftover rainwater can get trapped under your home if you have a crawl space. This moisture can cause long-term water damage, attract pests, and mold growth.
Water damage in your crawl space can put your family at risk. It can lead to wood rot which impacts the structural integrity of your home. Have you noticed the floorboards sagging or creaking more than normal when it gets humid or after a rainstorm? You may need to check under your home to see if moisture damage is already affecting your home.
The last thing you want is costly repairs to your home's foundation.
The crawl space under your home is also the perfect home for all kinds of pests: rats, spiders, cockroaches, snakes, and so many more of your least favorite things. These pests can sneak into your crawl space through the smallest cracks and openings when your crawl space is not encapsulated. They prefer a moist environment and the air in your crawl space is the perfect place to live, especially if a rainstorm destroys their previous home.
Bugs are gross, but mold is an even bigger issue.
Mold growing in your crawl space can make its way into the air you breathe through the subfloor and the HVAC, depending on where it is located. Mold can affect not only you and your family but also your pets! It can cause breathing issues such as wheezing, asthma, and rhinitis in household members. It can even be life-threatening for those with asthma or severe allergies.
All this moisture can get trapped under your crawl space in various ways. Springfield TN, has a humid climate, with humidity getting above 90% in the spring and summer months. Your crawl space is Hotel California for humidity, it can get in but it may not be able to leave. Vents alone are not enough to allow the moisture to fully escape.

In Springfield, TN the humidity can frequently get above 90% in the spring and summer. It’s like a tropical resort for mold. Pests also enjoy a humid environment, so the dehumidifier can help prevent pest infestation.
