Humid Basement

Wet basement

Do you have a wet and humid basement or crawl space? What does it mean and what are the solutions?

Dampness, leaks, or excess humidity in your basement or crawl space can be devastating for a home, as well as the health of the people living inside of it. In order to understand the damage this moisture can cause, let’s first come to an understanding of how it got there in the first place. Many crawl spaces have dirt floors, meaning that the bottom of your home is left completely exposed to the forces of nature that lie beneath.

Crawl spaces and basements that have vents to the outside or cracks due to foundation damage are even more susceptible to water from the outside air as well as rainwater which can now pour directly in. When water in your crawl space or basement evaporates, the vapor is soaked up by the wood under your home causing humid basements and humid crawl spaces.

Over time, this moisture can rot wood and other organic materials, causing damage to the structure of your home. If that isn’t bad enough, the damp conditions provide a perfect breeding ground for pests as well as mold, which, aside from the unpleasant smell, can cause serious health issues for you and your family.
