Experiencing a Humid Crawl Space
in Northern VA?

What Causes a Damp or Humid Crawl Space in Northern Virginia?

If your home has a crawl space, it can be easy to ignore it. It’s under the home, out of eyesight, and rarely seems to cause problems. However, it’s important to watch your crawl space for the times when there is moisture building up.

When moisture gets into your crawl space it can cause several issues. These issues not only affect your crawl space but the entire structure of your home. Mold and mildew can grow, mixing with the air you breathe. It can also cause wood rot on the structural beams under your home, jeopardizing the safety of your structure and your family. Damp or humid crawl spaces are caused by a number of things, including

• Flooding
• Foundation cracks
• Excess humidity
• Poor groundwater drainage
• Poor construction
• Excess watering of flowerbeds
• Malfunctioning gutters

It can be hard for the untrained eye to spot the exact reason behind the damp and humid conditions in your crawl space, so you should call a professional to check it out before you make any major changes to your home.
