Answers to your common crawl space questions

• How does moisture and humidity affect my crawl space?

  Moisture is the most common problem in a vented, unsealed crawl space. Humidity and excess moisture leads to mold growth, wood rot, and pest infestations. Crawl space moisture often migrates upstairs through the "stack effect," contributing to structural damage, musty odors, and high energy bills.

• How do I get rid of moisture and water problems in my crawl space?

  Crawl space encapsulation is the most recommended solution to prevent crawl space moisture. A dehumidifier designed for crawl spaces can ensure a dry crawl space and prevent mold growth. A drainage system and sump pump can stop water intrusion in the crawl space.

• Do I need a dehumidifier in my crawl space?

  A dehumidifier controls humidity and removes moisture from the air to prevent mold and property damage and make the whole house more comfortable. A Basement Systems dealer in your area can evaluate your crawl space and recommend the best solution for moisture control.

• What kind of sump pump do I need for a crawl space?

  The best crawl space sump pump depends on your exact drainage control needs. Basement Systems offers durable, high-capacity sump pump systems. Contact your Basement Systems dealer to schedule an on-site crawl space drainage evaluation.

Do you need crawl space repair?

Do any of the following apply to your home or crawl space? If yes, you should consider having your crawl space evaluated by a professional.

Crawl space with open vents and a dirt floor
Vented, dirt-floored crawl spaces are still permitted by building codes in many areas, despite the moisture and mold problems they cause.

Allergy and asthma symptoms
Airborne mold spores and dust mites from damp crawl space and basement areas are among the most common indoor air pollutants and allergens.

Fiberglass insulation in the crawl space
Fiberglass insulation is the WRONG material to use when insulating a crawl space. It absorbs moisture, loses R-value, attracts mold, promotes wood rot, and falls out of place.
