3 Common Crawlspace Problems
Improper Damage
Without a proper drainage system, a crawlspace will hold water. If not addressed, standing water will cause the wooden structure to mold and rot and eventually weaken beams and joists. A deteriorated wood structure may cause floors and subfloors to sag, and your home may shift off the foundation. A proper drainage system prevents excess water from concentrating too close to the crawlspace.
Improper Ventilation
Ventilated crawlspaces allow ambient air to flow in and out. While the intent is to remove moisture from the crawlspace, the opposite can occur in a hot and humid climate. When the warm, humid air enters the crawlspace, it rises and accumulates below the home’s floor. If the home is air-conditioned and the floor is uninsulated, condensation will often form on the wood structure. The underside of the subfloor will be affected by the moisture and eventually will mold and rot.
Improper Spacing of Pipers
Pier columns throughout the crawlspace support the weight of the floors above. Improper placement of the columns puts extensive pressure on the beams and joists, causing them to bend, sag, or bounce. Therefore, floors start to slope, causing cracks and other cosmetic problems in the home.
