Not all homes will have a crawl space, so its importance might not fully be recognized by the average homeowner. This can lead to neglect of this space, which in turn can lead to all sorts of issues attacking your home. The crawl space is important for one very simple reason: it contains many of your home’s most important structures and systems. This includes your HVAC system, electrical wiring, plumbing, insulation, your floor’s support beams, and your foundation. None of these items can stand to be so much as splashed with water, much less submerged in a flood. Protecting the crawl space should be your primary goal when maintaining your Daytona Beach home. The infrastructure greatly relies on the many systems installed inside to keep running. If even one of these systems becomes damaged through neglect, then it can quickly spell trouble for the rest of your home, too. For instance, if constant flooding causes the foundation to gradually break down over time, you will notice the other structures in your house starting to be negatively impacted, too. This does not mean that anyone can go into the crawl space unsupervised (or really at all) to repair these issues. The crawl space is named so for a reason. The average crawl space ceiling will range anywhere between one to three feet high: just barely enough room for an adult to crawl around in and little more. This can be dangerous for you which is why it is best to leave the inspection and repairst to the experts.
