Cluttered Crawl Space
This crawl space was filled with debris, such as fallen insulation, stray wires, and a damaged vapor barrier.
Evidence of Water
Water stains can be seen on the concrete blocks of the crawl space's perimeter wall.
Exposed Columns
Because concrete is a porous material, columns such as these can be easily infiltrated by water.
Old Vapor Barrier
This crawl space's vapor barrier was bunched up and no longer covering the dirt floor of the crawl space.
Mold
Mold flourishes in a dark, damp crawl space.
Sagging Insulation
Fiberglass insulation easily soaks up water, causing it to sag and hang from the wood joists.
Wood Rot
After the fiberglass insulation has fallen, the wood it was covering is vulnerable to wood rot.
