With high relative humidity levels, a dirt crawl space under a home in Virginia is a bad idea. The earth has very high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upwards into the house environment. Damp environments are unhealthy and destructive. Mold thrives in damp places and reproduces by producing airborne spores that travel up from a crawl space into the home. Insects and critters love these damp environments and wet materials as a food source and nesting materials. Rot and decay also occur in damp environments causing structural damage to the home or building. The natural airflow in a house is from bottom to top. This upward airflow draws the moist air and everything in it up into the living areas of the home. Mold spores, odors, humidity and critters create a very unhealthy environment for people. Many people are allergic to these things, and experience a host of symptoms - never realizing that their unhealthy crawl space is affecting their health.  Dirt crawl spaces do not have to be wet or flooded to be extremely unhealthy. Heating and cooling costs are also higher in a home with a vented dirt crawl space. Again, a dirt, vented, or unconditioned crawl space under a home is a bad idea. But now there is a solution to crawl spaces - The CleanSpace System - developed by Basement Systems, the world leader in dry basement technology. Contact us today for a free crawl space repair estimate. Our Virginia service area includes: Richmond, Roanake, Martinsville, Danville, Chester and surrounding areas. Concrete Crawl Space Floors Concrete crawl spaces should be fixed, as well, to offer better air quality and home energy savings. Not only does a white liner really brighten up a crawl space, but sealing moisture from permeating up through the porous concrete floor, will lower the relative humidity - helping to improve energy efficiency throughout the home and prevent mold growth.Crawl spaces with concrete floors that are wet or damp can be very difficult to install a drainage system in because they are so low, and removing concrete is difficult or impossible. Further, a concrete floor is porous and lets water vapor pass through it. Click here for a Free Estimate and Inspection to learn more about the solution or call Evergreen Basement Systems today. |
