The Problems with Crawlspaces

If your home has a crawlspace, don’t ignore it. If your crawlspace is not properly maintained or inspected, it can lead to many issues throughout your home. Some of these issues include:

• Crawlspace moisture – This can lead to mold growth and wood rot. Mold and mildew can get into the air you breath and cause you and your family health issues.
• Pests – A crawlspace that is damp is an inviting place for pests including termites and roaches.
• Radon – An unlined crawlspace can cause dangerous radon gas from the ground to seep into your home.
• Energy bills – A crawlspace that is not properly maintained can cause high humidity throughout the home, causing high energy bills.
• Sagging floors – A wet crawlspace can cause the floors above the crawlspace to sag.

Recently the Lake County flooding has caused residents to have crawlspace problems. So if you notice some of the signs of crawlspace problems such as drywall cracks, uneven floors, heightened allergies, or foul odors in the home, contact United Structural Systems of Illinois for a free inspection.
