Understanding Crawl Space Humidity

Crawl space humidity has been plaguing homes in New Jersey since they were first built. As the space becomes increasingly humid, moisture will condensate on the surfaces in your crawl space, leading to serious problems in your home.

Most of the problems traditionally associated with damaged, rotting crawl spaces are due to basic flaws in the ways that crawl spaces were designed.

Crawlspace Odors & Mold
Moisture leads to mold growth, musty odors, and structural damage, not to mention that insects and critters love moist environments and energy costs are higher. Moisture ruins houses by providing a hospitable environment for mold, fungi, and insects that destroy wood framing. Crawl space moisture, and the mold and mildew that thrive in this environment, affect not only the floor system directly above, but also the entire house.

There are a couple of reasons a builder might choose to add a crawl space to a home.

Firstly, crawl spaces facilitate convenient access to plumbing and electrical systems, streamlining maintenance and repairs. Moreover, they enhance ventilation and moisture management, thereby minimizing the potential for mold growth and structural deterioration. Additionally, crawl spaces can improve insulation, contributing to the overall energy efficiency of the residence.
