Moisture is the most common cause of crawl space deterioration. When water enters through soil, humidity or plumbing issues, it begins to settle around the wooden subfloors and beams. Over time this moisture creates the perfect conditions for mold colonies, foul odors and wood rot. The soil under your home may also shift because of seasonal temperature changes or poor drainage around the property, which can make the support posts inside the crawl space unstable. When this movement continues for months or years, floors start to sag and cracks appear in walls. Crawl space repairs become necessary when these early warning signs turn into structural problems that affect the overall stability and comfort of your home. Homeowners who wait too long often end up dealing with bigger and more expensive issues.
