Most homeowners discover crawl space moisture after noticing a musty odor in their home. High moisture levels in your crawl space can lead to mold, wood rot, poor indoor air quality, and wood-destroying organisms. Improving crawl space ventilation or installing a crawl space encapsulation with a dehumidifier can remove moisture. Start by scheduling a professional crawl space inspection to identify the sources of the moisture. Plumbing leaks, groundwater intrusion, poor ventilation, or air leaks are frequent causes. Once you know the causes, remove damaged materials, clean, and sanitize the crawl space. Lastly, review your professional’s recommended best solution to remove crawl space moisture. Your options range from mold remediation to a full crawl space encapsulation. Removing excess crawl space moisture protects your home, protects your family, and prevents moisture-related problems from returning.
