How To Control The Moisture In Your Crawl Space | Tips

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While a home’s crawl space can be home to a vast amount of spiders, bugs and other kinds of undesirable guests, it can also be an unwelcome source of moisture. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As ground moisture migrates upward, it can become trapped underneath the house leading to possible structural damage. I’ve even seen it begin to buckle hardwood floors inside. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Putting a simple barrier of plastic on the ground is the best prevention measure you can take. Use a thicker plastic sheet with a thickness of 6-mils and cut it into manageable pieces. Get a helper and be prepared for about an hour’s worth of crawling. But, once the plastic is in place and covering the entire crawlspace, moisture worries will be at a minimum.</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p>
