Air circulates upwards and brings the dam crawl space air to the upper floors. So, if the air is wet and infected with bacteria, you will breathe it.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of the effects of a wet crawl space:
- Mites (allergens)
- Wet carpets that release bad odors
- Condensation, rot, mold in your basement and attic
- Frost or condensation inside the windows
- An increase in heating and air conditioning costs
- A decrease in the life of shingles on your roof
- worsening of allergies and asthma
To solve moisture problems, we offer a complete encapsulation system for the crawl space. We start by fixing water infiltrations, then we isolate the earth and the concrete and insulate the wall with our CleanSpace vapor barrier membrane, we seal the vents and block other air infiltrations and we finish by dehumidifying the air of the crawl space thanks to to our SaniDry Sedona which is specially designed for this environment.
