Wet Crawlspace Damage
How does water damage my crawlspace and home?
Water Can Damage Your Crawlspace in 6 ways:
(1) Structural integrity of concrete is undermined – reducing the concrete’s life expectancy.
(2) Water inside block walls expands and contracts causing concrete to crack. (3) Promotes growth of mold, algae, and fungi reduces life expectancy of surrounding wood.
(4) Water causes mildew and mold problems in unventilated areas of the home (closets).
(5) Support columns resting in waterlogged soil for extended periods may slowly twist and tilt. This causes cracks doors and windows, squeaky floors, and door and window problems.
(6) Algae, microscopic plant life, animals, termites and allergy-carrying agents result from standing water.
Any solution that doesn’t stop all the ways is a waste of your money.
