crawl space seal
A crawl space offers homeowners additional space for storing infrequently used items. However, without proper care, this valuable area can quickly become damp, dirty, and a breeding ground for mold. It’s easy to forget about a rarely seen or used space, leading to the dreaded “out of sight, out of mind” scenario.
When moisture threatens your crawl space, it’s time for our crawl space seals. At Crawl Space Brothers, we believe in protecting your home and ensuring your crawl space remains safe from water. Opting for our sealing services guarantees a dry, clean, and mold-free environment for your belongings.
Many homeowners underestimate the importance of a well-maintained crawl space, especially when it’s not being actively used. However, even an unused crawl space plays a significant role in the health and value of your home. Let’s review some of the consequences of not having a crawl space seal for your home’s protection.
Most crawl spaces commonly use bare dirt or gravel floors, which are an open invitation for groundwater seepage due to hydrostatic pressure. Similar to basements, cracks and areas above the foundation offer yet another entry point for water.
A damp crawl space indirectly boosts the humidity levels of your entire home. The moisture from the crawl space rises in the form of water vapor, overworking air conditioners and dehumidifiers. This not only reduces the comfort of your living space but also surges energy costs.
The escalated water vapor from the crawl space affects the first floor of your home. From solid wood to laminate, all types of flooring are at risk. Exposure to increased moisture causes swelling, buckling, and even the deterioration of adhesives in carpet squares or vinyl tiles. This damage can lead to inconvenient and costly repairs.
A damp crawl space is a haven for mold growth. Organic materials like framing lumber combined with moisture become breeding grounds. Mold spores can travel upwards, affecting the air quality and health of the inhabitants. This poses potential allergy risks and even diseases.
Even if the current homeowner ignores the damp crawl space, future potential buyers won’t. A poorly maintained crawl space can become a deal-breaker during home inspections, significantly lowering the resale value.
