Call UsHigh Levels of Moisture in the Crawl Space and the Problems It Causes in Southern NY & Northern PA
Ventilated, untreated crawl spaces are always vulnerable to moisture both from groundwater evaporation and the humid air entering through the vents. This quickly raises Relative Humidity levels to 60% and above, creating conditions conducive to mold growth, dry rot and pest proliferation.
The effects of groundwater evaporation and the outside air can be effectively treated by encapsulating the space, covering the vents and installing a proper drainage system, but there is still one more source of moisture that needs to be considered: condensation resulting from differences in temperature between the outside and the interior of the crawl space, such as when hot air gets in contact with a cold surface or vice-versa. It is very common in crawl spaces with HVC ducts and pipes and can be often go unnoticed until it’s too late.
