Dirt Floor Crawl Space
When a crawl space is exposed to a dirt floor, water vapor from the earth rises into the space, increasing the relative humidity. High relative humidity coupled with warm temperatures and an organic food source leads to mold and mildew growth.
A Home Pests
Dark, moist, crawl spaces are the ideal environment for pests, rodents, critters, and snakes.
Cracks Above Doors
In your home, you may notice cracks above your doors or sticking doors and windows. This is typically a sign of foundation settlement.
Stair-Step Cracks
Stair-step cracks are often a signal that your foundation is settling. Over time, as settlement continues, the crack will widen.
Mud Tubes on Foundation Walls
Mud tubes are made of small particles of dirt and wood that protect termites as they travel. Termites love damp crawl spaces and moist wood.
