Your home is constantly filled with tiny, invisible mould spores that float through the air. These spores are the main cause of allergies. An untreated, vented crawlspace is an air quality disaster waiting to happen. The bare earth under your home contains high levels of moisture. This air brings with it not only mould spores that can affect your health, but also moisture that enters your floor framing system, opening the door for wood rot.
Every home has vents in the roof allowing warm air to escape. Warm air inside your home is always rising and slowly escaping through your roof vents. In return, air is sucked up into your home from the crawl space beneath. Humidity in your crawl space allows mold to grow into colonies and release spores. In a crawl space with a humidity problem, you will find fungus constantly spewing out spores, that are sucked upward and distributed into the home’s living area.

 

Spiders, snakes, centipedes, cockroaches, rats, mice, tiny dust mites and termites all love living in the shady, damp crawl space under your home. Wood floors and floor joists often fall prey to moisture damage. Floors squeak and warp, support beams rot and all that moist wood makes ideal food for termites. Moisture, dirt, dust mites and particles from the unhealthiest part of your home are sucked up through your floors and pass through your entire house. This is the single biggest cause of indoor odours and allergies.
