Vented Crawl Spaces in Statesville, NC

If installing crawl space vents was the best solution for a home, then rotting, moldy, decaying crawl spaces wouldn't be nearly as commonplace as they are now. Crawl space vents are designed and installed with the goal of creating a cross breeze in the crawl space that will allow moisture to be pushed out of the area and outside of the home in Greater Charlotte including Winston-Salem, Kannapolis, Statesville or Charlotte.

As mold deepens its hold in a wet crawl space, it begins to ruin all organic material in the area - including wood - and releases thousands and thousands of mold spores to float in the air. The problem doesn't end with the crawl space: as the air fills with odors, mold spores, allergens, and humidity, it will rise upwards into the rest of the home and enter the home. Locating a crawl space repair expert who's willing to come to your home, rip out your moldy, rotting, smelly wood from you narrow, vermin-infested crawlspace, and replace the beams is going to be both difficult and expensive. And in the end, if the North Carolina crawl space vents that allowed the moisture in initially aren't sealed, the problem will just repeat itself.

Vented crawl spaces are affected by much more than the summer heat. Although the air entering the North Carolina crawl space will be drier than summer air, it will also be cold. As winter air streams into the crawl space, water heaters, hot water pipes, and heating ducts will all cooled and will need to use more energy to do their job correctly. And as the air lingers in the crawl space, it will cool the first floor making it cold and uncomfortable underfoot. Don't accept this!
