Almost half of the air on the first floor of your home comes through the crawl space. That means if your crawl space is damp, musty, and humid, so is the air that your family breathes.
Furthermore, crawl spaces are notoriously prone to mold and mildew issues. To keep your loved ones safe from toxic spores and allergies, you’ll need to dehumidify the space and discourage mold growth.
Crawl spaces also play a factor in the overall structural integrity of your home. If mold, moisture, and other elements deteriorate the space, you could deal with long-term damage that’s expensive to fix.
