In the Franklin, Lake Toxaway, Sylvia, or Highlands area, nothing destroys a new crawl space like the twin forces of humidity and water. As air moves into the home from the outside through vents, crawl space doors, and other openings to the outside, damage to wood, stored items, and other organic materials is inevitable. If your home has a damp, moldy, rotting crawl space, the best time to fix it is right away. Dry Crawl Spaces is the authorized dealer dedicated to repair your crawl space problems.
Brevard, Franklin, or Sylvia Crawl Space VentsVented crawl spaces are a sound idea in theory, but the reality in the industry is that crawl spaces in all areas are experiencing rot, mold, and decay. Franklin, Lake Toxaway, Highlands, or Sylvia crawl space vents are designed and installed with the goal of creating a cross breeze in the crawl space that will allow moisture to be pushed out of the area and outside of the home. In reality, the hazy summer air flows into the crawl space, warming the area and causing it to naturally move upwards into the home. As this humid air is cooled, the relative humidity rises, and moisture stored within the air forms condensation on wood and cool surfaces, giving mold the moisture, warmth, and food it needs to grow.
Once mold establishes itself on the wet wood and organic material in a crawl space, it begins to damage the wood and fill the air with tens of thousands of spores. The problem doesn't end with the crawl space: as the air fills with odors, mold spores, allergens, and humidity, it will rise upwards into the rest of the home and enter the home. As the Cullowhee, Lake Toxaway, Franklin, or Sylvia crawl space rots, repairs will need to be done, and finding a crawl space contractor who's willing to crawl into a moldy, damp, and rodent-infested crawl space to tear out the old wood and install new wood won't be cheap. And even if you do repair North Carolina crawl space, you haven't solved the problem unless the vents have been sealed and the crawl space moisture is kept out.
Vented crawl spaces are affected by much more than the summer heat. While the air in the or North Carolina crawl space will not tend to be as humid in the cold winter air, it still brings unwanted cold into the space. As winter air streams into the crawl space, water heaters, hot water pipes, and heating ducts will all cooled and will need to use more energy to do their job correctly.
