Crawl Spaces
The part of your house you never see — and the one that affects it most.
In the Pacific Northwest, crawl spaces work hard. Months of rain, high groundwater, and cool temperatures keep them damp. Air from the crawl space rises into your living space, so what happens down there shows up upstairs as odours, cold floors, and higher heating bills.
Common crawl space problems
- Standing water after heavy rain or a plumbing leak
- Torn, missing, or flattened vapour barrier
- Insulation that is wet, sagging, or fallen to the ground
- Debris left from construction or past repairs
- Rodent nests and droppings
- Mold or mildew on joists and subfloor
- Musty odour inside the house
