Moisture Control in South Florida
Most homeowners don’t venture into their crawl space very often, but just because it’s out of sight doesn’t mean it should be out of mind!

Thankfully, it’s easy to prevent these problems with our moisture control services.

- Inspect your home for moisture staining, damaged insulation, and other areas of concern.

Why Is Crawl Space Moisture Bad?
Having some moisture in the crawl space is completely normal. Ideally, it should be between 45-55% humidity. Once it rises above that, the excess moisture in the air can cause a variety of problems, such as:
- Structural damage: Moisture causes wood to rot, which can damage floor joists, support beams, and subflooring. This leads to dangerous structural damage.
- Health problems: Mold, mildew, and fungus grow in moist environments. These spores circulate from the crawl space into your living space, which can cause allergies, respiratory issues, and even chronic health conditions.
- Pest infestations: Pests like termites and roaches are drawn to moisture. A humid crawl space is like an invitation for pests to move in, which can lead to an infestation almost overnight.
- Insulation damage: If moisture fills the air pockets in insulation, it loses its ability to insulate your home. This makes it hard to keep heat out during the summer and in during the winter, leading to higher energy costs.
