Why Do Crawl Spaces Take the Biggest Hit During The Winter?
As the snow melts and becomes water, it can seep into your crawl space. But why does this happen?
Crawl Spaces are Closer to Grade
Crawl spaces are closer to the ground, making them more susceptible to groundwater infiltration, and they are often not fully waterproof. This makes them one of the first areas to suffer from water intrusion.
Drainage Problems Create More Issues
Having poor grading around the home or a blocked downspout can allow water to pool near your home's foundation, increasing the risk of leaks and damp conditions in the crawl space.
Moisture Becomes Trapped
There is usually limited airflow in crawl spaces, allowing moisture to become trapped and linger longer. Due to having so much moisture trapped in the crawl space, the risk of mold, wood rot, and musty odors becomes higher!
