Unhealthy Crawlspace in Lawrenceburg

Did you know that roughly 50% of the air we breathe upstairs comes from your crawl space? If your crawl space isn't up to par, neither is your indoor air quality. Just a few things to look out for is an increase in asthma and allergy symptoms, as well as a musty smell that comes from mold and mildew.

Excessive Moisture -Lawrenceburg, TN

This crawl space has an excessive moisture problem and all of that moisture is affecting their organic wood beams. The beams had a wood moisture content rate of 18%, which is nearing the rate at which most wood conditions are border-line for decay. This rating is also when surface mold appears, as you can see in the photos, mold spores have formed. If there is an excessive amount of moisture in your crawl space, pink insulation that wraps around the ceiling of your crawl space constantly touching the wood beams is very bad for the wood, because the insulation acts like a dirty sponge and causes the wood beams to rot at a higher rate.
