Crawl Space Repair - Foundation Walls

The foundation walls of this crawl space are made of porous cinderblocks, which means moisture can infiltrate the crawl space through them. Efflorescence is visible on the walls, meaning that water has seeped through, bringing the salts and minerals from within these blocks to the surface. During the warmer, wetter seasons the temperatures are high enough to where the relative humidity can increase in the crawl space, and during the colder, dryer seasons the outside air will make the first floors of a home colder, and cause your heating system to turn on more often, raising your energy bills.
