A dirty crawl space
A dirt crawl space under a home is a very bad idea. The main issue with dirt crawl spaces is the moisture from the dirt beneath the home.
The natural airflow in a house is from bottom to top
This sucks the moist air, and everything in it, up into the living areas of the home. A damp environment is very unhealthy, destructive and can lead to wood rot, mold growth and poor indoor air quality.
Small stairs leading to the crawl space
Most crawl space openings are small, which makes it hard for workers to do their job properly.
But our team is well prepared for any inconvenience.
