Natural Disasters and Your Crawl Space
Concerns of mold, sagging floors, rotting wood and even eventual wall cracks can occur. Ignoring water in a crawl space after a storm can be easily done. The surface of your home seems to be in normal condition and once the flooding outside subsidies, thoughts of water damages doesn’t cross most minds
A natural disaster can be detrimental to homes, even leaving some completely destroyed. Crawl spaces are no exception to nature’s laws and can develop mold and weak or rotted wood over time. This will also produce mold spores and dust mites allowing them to enter your home affecting allergies and respiratory conditions. Crawl space moisture should never be underestimated. Affected wood can lead to future damages to your home structure or foundation, with repairs can exceed most budgets!
