Crawl Space Entrance
The home's crawl space was blocked off by a simple metal door, making it susceptible to rusting.
Open Crawl Space
The crawl space was supported by concrete pillars with two different plastic barriers covering the ground.
High Humidity Levels
Humidity levels in a crawl space should never go over 55 percent.
Dirty Vapor Barrier
Inside the crawl space, we discovered a simple plastic "barrier" that was wet and dirty.
Fallen Insulation
Fiberglass insulation acts as a sponge, causing it to sag and fall as it becomes soaked with water.
Water Droplets
Due to the high moisture levels in this crawl space, water droplets could be seen forming on the air ducts.
Mold
In dark, damp crawl spaces, mold thrives.
Wood Rot
The wood in this crawl space was damp and rotting.
Standing Water
Dirty puddles of water were found in the lower spots of the crawl space.
