Challenge
The negative effects a dirt crawl space has on a home are numerous - moisture from the gound and the outside air enters the crawlspace and then rises up through the home. So with exposed earth floors; leaking, vented walls and potentially rotting, moisture filled wood joists the impact on the structure itself, the air you breathe in a home and the cost of energy bills is high!
Solution
There are 4 steps to totally elimate the problems of a dirt crawl space and removing the effects on the rest of the house.
1 - Fix any water leakage
2 - Isolate the house from the earth
3 - Seal vents and other outside air leaks
4 - Dehumidify the Crawlspace air
