Raleigh, Durham & Cary Crawl Spaces
Many homes built on crawl space foundations in Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill and all parts of the Triangle, suffer from poor moisture management.
A crawl space cannot be used as living space, but they do offer convenient access to pipes, substructures and a variety of other areas that may be difficult or expensive to access otherwise. While your crawl space isn’t the most beautiful part of your home, it plays a vital role in the overall “health” of your house.
Most homes have unfinished crawl spaces, which means that water from the damp ground, water vapor (entering from crawlspace vents), and moisture seeping through porous concrete can create a perfect environment for mold/mildew.
How Clean is Your Crawl Space?
Did you know that 50-60% of the air breathed in your home comes from your crawl space? If your crawl space is moldy, then mold spores and dust mite pellets are being consistently sucked in with that air. Mold spores and dust mite pellets are the two main indoor allergens, which agitate breathing problems (such as asthma) and create a variety of health-related problems in children and adults.
The Stack Effect
Stack effect refers to a common physics phenomena that explains what happens in the crawl space has a direct impact on your home’s indoor air quality and energy efficiency.
As heated air rises inside a building, it exits the structure from any openings in uppermost levels including attic vents, windows, and wall and ceiling gaps. As that happens, the indoor air supply is consistently being replenished with air sucked in from the lowest levels of the building: the basement and crawl space.
