If you notice any of these warning signs from your crawl space, request a free foundation inspection from The Basement Pros right away. The fact of the matter is that the condition of your crawl space greatly impacts the health and safety of your home.
What Causes Crawl Space Problems?
There are several reasons a home could develop dangerous crawl space conditions. Our team of foundation repair experts will inspect your crawl space for free so that you know exactly what the condition of it is.
When your crawl space has vent openings, this let’s moisture in. Once moisture is allowed inside your crawl space, it creates an ideal condition for mold, mildew, dust mites, and even wood rot. As if that wasn’t bad enough, this will cause a loss of efficiency in your home and can increase your energy bill close to 20%.
Maryland and Virginia have very wet seasons, all of which contribute to the moisture problem that leads to crawl space issues. Extra moisture in the soil will cause it to expand and press against your crawl space foundation. Overtime, you can expect this extra pressure to result in cracks.
Homes without a drainage system or a failing one will cause all the rain water from your roof and gutters to seep into the soil around your home. Once the water causes the soil to expand and press against your foundation, it can only resist that extra pressure for so long. Eventually, you’ll get foundation cracks and all the other not so fun problems that come with it.
A problem with the plumbing in your home can absolutely make it’s way to the crawl space, causing even more issues that you ever thought possible. When there are cracks in pipes or water lines, the leaking water can cause some major problems for your home’s foundation.
