- Water Damage: Water puddles on the floor or stains on the walls, rotten wooden parts, dampness, etc. are certain signs that water damage occurred in the crawl space. When these indications are visible then, be sure that immediate repair becomes necessary.
- Structural and Foundational Defects: Don't ignore if you notice cracks in the walls and ceilings or foundational parts of the crawl space. Other structural and foundation issues include sagging floors, sticking doors or windows, bowing walls, uneven settling, etc.
- Presence of Molds or Pests: A defective crawl space has high moisture and that makes it an ideal environment for the growth and spreading of molds and different pests. That is confirmed by the musty odor, black dots on the walls or ceiling, discoloration in those parts, and different health problems. For rodents and other organisms nests and droppings are the indications.
- Rise in Energy Bill: A sudden increase in the energy bill is another significant sign. It can be the result of leaks in different parts of the crawl space or high humidity that affects the insulation system. It also compromises the performance of the HVAC system in retaining the preferred temperature of the place.
Why Call for Expert Help Immediately?
The issues in the crawl space are just as concerning as other structural faults. Like the others, they have the potential to worsen and complicate the condition. Neglecting these problems can significantly impact the structural integrity and lead to serious foundational issues. It wouldn't be surprising if an accident occurred as a result. Furthermore, it could also degrade the air quality, leading to serious illnesses for the residents. Continuous issues with the performance of HVAC systems and other electrical appliances can cause damage to them. All these problems will only worsen over time, increasing your suffering. Needless to say, the repair costs will also take a toll on your finances.
