Unhealthy Crawl Space

This crawl space has an unsealed soil ground and falling pink insulation.

Moldy Insulation

When an excessive amount of moisture is in the air it clings to the cheap pink insulation, which will eventually create mold. This moldy and moist insulation is laying next to the wood beams that are helping to support the home's furniture and inhabitants. This will lead to moldy and rotting wood beams that could be a very expensive foundation fix down the road.

This matting becomes a channel for trapped water under the liner. It directs the water to the designated drain or sump pump!
