When mold grows it begins to shed spores that enter your home from below -- right through your floors. The mold floats around in the air in your home. Did you know that 30-50% of the air in your home originates in your crawl space and basement? This is the air that you and your family breathes in every night while you’re lying in bed sleeping. It often makes people sick and causes breathing issues, exasperates asthma, and can be the root cause of sinus difficulty and infections.
The truth is that we don’t really know. What we do know is that every home is different and many variables affect how unhealthy a crawl space becomes over time — things like the size, where it sits in relation to the water table, how the crawl space has been insulated and vented — all come into play when assessing not only what damage has already occurred but also what needs to be done to fix it. Contact us and one of our customer care professionals will come out and talk with you about what they find and what it will cost to fix your crawl space.
