Moisture in your crawlspace can leave you vulnerable to other problems.
A crawlspace is something that many properties in the West Des Moines, Iowa area have, and yet few enter into! Whether your crawlspace is used for occasional storage or nothing at all, it is an important part of the structure of your property, and we here at AdvantaClean of Des Moines Central want to make sure it is well-cared for. If you have moisture in your crawlspace, you are vulnerable to a host of problems, such as:
- Mold- Most species of mold only require a few things to grow, and a crawlspace can provide all of them. Darkness, warmth and moisture are prime growing conditions for mold, and since crawlspaces are rarely checked, it can quickly take over your crawlspace.
- Air Quality Concerns- With a moist crawlspace, you are vulnerable to mold and other problems in the living spaces, including air quality concerns.
- Structural Problems- When there is moisture in your crawlspace, you have weakened structural areas. Moist wood is softer, making it more vulnerable to issues with termites or carpenter ants. Additionally, moisture in the crawlspace leads to moldy areas of wood, which can crumble and lose their strength and integrity.
Here at AdvantaClean of Des Moines Central, we want to make sure that your crawlspace and the building above it are as trouble-free as possible by ensuring there is no moisture in your crawlspace! If you have questions about your crawlspace or are concerned that the level of humidity is too high, please contact us today. We would love to take a look.
