Crawl Space Repair

An exposed crawlspace has been linked to serious health hazards.

Radon, mold, mildew, musty odors, insects, rodents, high humidity levels, poor insulation, standing water, corroding ventilation, rotting floor joists, and cold floors are some of the health hazards and problems associated with an unfinished crawlspace.

EPA states: "Radon is a cancer-causing natural radioactive gas that you can't see, smell, or taste. It's presence in your home can pose a danger to your family's health. Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America and claims more than 20,000 lives annually.

Odors are common to crawlspaces because of the cool environment. Mold thrives in damp environments and mold spores will certainly irritate someone with allergies. Sealing a crawlspace is the best solution to lower the relative humidity and this prevents mold growth.

A dirt crawlspace will distress you and your entire house. To make your home healthier, cleaner, and more energy-efficient, your crawlspace needs to be encapsulated - separated from the earth and sealed from outside air.
