ELIMINATE MUSTY HOME ODORS WITH CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION

The Culprit of Musty Home Odors

Musty home odors are the hallmark of a wet crawl space. Even if mold and mildew are not a major factor in a crawl space, a damp crawl space still harbors bacteria that release a dank, musty odor that permeates the home. Controlling crawl space moisture provides fast relief from the odor.

Crawl Space Moisture

Moisture enters a crawl space in a number of ways. It enters after a rain where water pushes against the home’s foundation. It radiates up from the ground as groundwater. Moisture drifts through the crawl space, venting as humidity. It can even come from leaky plumbing.

Mold spores can activate from moisture and temperature. Several types of mold can attack the wood found in your crawl space. Mold can be white, black, green, and other colors. If left unchecked, mold can destroy wood and weaken your structure. All the while, mold releases additional spores that give a home a distinctive funky smell.

Keeping moisture out of the crawl space will significantly reduce or eliminate home odor. Crawlspace Care Pro has several proven options for controlling crawl space moisture.
