Damp Crawl Space

Home smell musty? Can you tell it has rained just by walking into your house?

Do you know what is living under your floors in the crawl space? Most people don't even want to go down there and look because they are afraid of what they will find. Floors and ducts dripping with moisture, mold growing on the wood, and critters. If you could eliminate the moisture down there, the problem would go away. We can help.

A dirt crawl space under a Missouri home is a very bad idea. The earth has very high humidity in the soil. This water vapor moves easily into the crawl space and upward into the house environment. A damp environment is very unhealthy and destructive. Insects and critters of all kinds love damp environments and wet materials. Rot and decay occur in damp environments causing structural damage.  Mold thrives by producing airborne spores by the millions, and some molds are toxic. The natural airflow in a house is from bottom to top. This sucks the moist air and everything in it up into the living areas of the home.

Mold spores, odors, humidity and critters create a very unhealthy environment for people. Many people are allergic to these things, and experience a host of symptoms and don't realize that their dirt crawl space is affecting their health. Dirt crawl spaces do not have to be wet or flooded to be extremely unhealthy.

Heating and cooling costs are higher in a home with a vented dirt crawl space.
