Why Is Your Crawlspace Important To Your Health?

A Healthy Home Begins In the Crawlspace.

Rot is the leading cause of floors that sag and unhealthy living conditions. Homeowners have come to accept
a crawlspace that is wet and dirty. Out of sight… Out of mind! Many donʼt realize how destructive a wet
crawlspace is to the health of their family and energy efficiency of their home. Many Indiana homes suffer
from floor rot due to the “chimney effect” where humid outside air is drawn into an unsealed cold crawlspace.
It is this cold, moist air that rises to replace the dry air leaving your home. Studies have shown that the air that
you breathe in the first floor of your home comes from crawlspaces that are unsealed.

Symptoms of an unhealthy crawl space include: Sagging floors, Binding doors or windows, Damp or musty
smells, High energy bills, Condensation inside your crawl space or standing water after a heavy rain, Rotten
moldy attic or floor framing that has turned from blonde to red, brown or black, High indoor humidity in the
summer, Cold floors in the winter, Bugs and rodents.
