Concrete Columns
Because concrete is porous, water can seep in, leading to a powdery substance forming on the concrete.
Exposed Vent
Exposed crawl space vents let in air from the outside, which mixes with the musty air in the crawl space and seeps up into the living areas of the home.

In the crawl space, we found insulation that had become soaked with water and fallen as well as exposed brick and wood panels.
