Your home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. If your crawl space begins to rot, grow mold, or experience structural problems, this will extend to every part of your home and could cause damage to your home and health risks for your family.

One of the biggest problems facing a crawl space is when they are built with vents that allow outside air into the space. The reason behind this is to help dry the house. However, vented crawl spaces have been determined as counterproductive and can be very harmful to the health of your home. Moisture freely infiltrates your crawl space, creating a whole host of problems.
During the summer, hot and humid air from your crawl space can cause severe issues to your home. These issues include:
Soft, Sagging Floors
Buckling Floors
Plumbing Leaks
Bugs in Your Home
Weakening Structure
It is common for homes that have crawl space problems to have increased air quality issues. This is due to the mold and mildew building up under your home. Mold and mildew love dark, damp environments, and an unencapsulated crawl space fits both of those descriptions perfectly.
The mold and mildew spores can then find their way into your living space through cracks or your home’s ventilation system. And when they do, health problems can follow. They can range from mild respiratory symptoms to more significant problems, especially for anyone with a pre-existing respiratory issue.
