Unhealthy Crawl Space
This crawl space has spots of standing water on the ground. That water is only being absorbed into the home, which is very bad news for the wood beams that are helping support the weight of the home's contents.
Wood Moisture Content
The moisture level of this wood is 53%. The homeowners have already seen points of wood failure throughout their home. High wood moisture content is detrimental to a home's foundation.
Relative Humidity
The humidity level in this crawl space was 78.8%. Mold, mold spores, and dust mites thrive in environments over 60% RH.
Rotting Wood
As you have seen, the wood moisture content was extremely high. Stabilizers are now very necessary.
You can also see that the pink insulation is moist, dirty, and falling from the ceiling. This does not help the wood, because the moist insulation is clinging to the wood.
CleanSpace Liner
This home was in NEED of our encapsulation system and steel stabilizers. The thick, sealed, liner works to reduce moisture in the crawl space. The SmartJack stabilizer actually helps lift the floors back to their original position.
