Moisture in crawl spaces can lead to serious damage to your home. It can cause wood rot, mold growth, and even structural damage. That’s why it’s important to check your crawl space regularly for signs of moisture.
Here are some tips on how to check your crawl space for moisture:
A moisture meter can be used to measure the moisture content of the air in your crawl space. A high moisture content can indicate a problem with moisture intrusion.
Condensation can occur when warm, moist air meets a cold surface. If you see any condensation on the walls or ceiling of your crawl space, it’s a sign that the air is too humid. This can lead to mold growth and other problems.
A musty odor in your crawl space can be a sign of mold or mildew growth. This can be caused by excessive moisture.
