Sagging floors and unpleasant odors might feel like just part of owning a home with a crawl space, but these common issues are far from normal.
The condition of your crawl space plays a crucial role in the overall health and safety of your home. Excessive moisture and humidity can lead to mold growth, which poses serious health risks, and wood rot that weakens your home's structural integrity.
These problems are significant, but they’re not beyond repair! LFR Foundation Repair specializes in crawl space encapsulation, providing long-lasting protection for your home.
Here's what's impacting your crawlspace:
When a plumbing leak occurs, we often focus on the damage inside our home. However, these issues can extend to your crawl space as well. Cracks in pipes or water lines leading into your home can damage your lawn, compromise your foundation, and lead to water damage in your crawl space.
Spring showers may benefit your flowers and landscaping, but they can spell trouble for your crawl space. The excess moisture causes the soil to expand and press against your crawl space foundation, leading to potential cracks over time.
Without a proper drainage system, the water from your gutters or roof ends up near your foundation. This excess water causes the soil to expand, putting pressure on your crawl space foundation, which can lead to water infiltration and cracks.
Exposed dirt in your crawl space absorbs moisture from open vents, allowing damp air to enter. As the soil dries, it releases moisture into your home, raising indoor humidity levels and driving up energy costs.
Open crawl space vents allow moisture to enter, creating an ideal environment for wood rot, mold, mildew, and dust mites. Additionally, a vented dirt crawl space can increase your energy bills by up to 20%!
