Crawl Space Repair in Birmingham
Are You Seeing Signs of Crawl Space Problems
Around Your Home?
Crawl spaces can provide easier access to a home’s ductwork, utility cables, plumbing, and wiring. But crawl spaces in Alabama typically have exposed dirt floors or are covered with a cheap plastic moisture barrier. Both of these conditions can contribute to problems in the crawl space, including moisture damage and mold. Excess moisture in the crawl space can contribute to significant comfort, health, and structural issues in the home.
Moisture, humidity, or dampness
Excess moisture in the crawl space can lead to structural damage and unhealthy air quality.
Standing water
Any standing water in the crawl space indicates serious moisture issues that need to be addressed.
Uneven, sloping floors
Floors may sag due to weakened support from a damaged crawl space.
Sticking doors and windows
Door and window misalignment often results from foundation movement caused by problems in the crawl space.
Cold floors
Poor insulation or crawl space moisture problems can make floors feel colder.
Mold
Excess moisture encourages harmful mold growth.
Musty odors
A musty smell indicates moisture and potential mold issues.
Damp or sagging insulation
Wet insulation loses effectiveness, leading to temperature control problems.
Pest infestations
Pests thrive in damp, dark crawl spaces, causing damage and health risks.
Why Do Crawl Spaces Get Wet, Damp & Musty?
There are many possible sources for pooling water, mold growth, and high humidity. Causes of crawl space water, moisture, and mold problems include:
- Open vents in the foundation
- Poor grading around the foundation
- Water leaks or seepage through foundation cracks
- Saturated soil and poor drainage around the foundation
- Plumbing failures
- Poorly functioning drainage or sump pump systems
