Crawl spaces are a unique part of home construction, and they're typically used to house utilities such as water pipes and electrical wiring. However, if the crawl space has any sort of moisture problem or humidity issue, it can cause decay to wooden beams that support your flooring system. This rot is not only difficult to repair but also dangerous because it compromises the structural integrity of your entire foundation. The best way to prevent this from happening is by ensuring that you have properly fixed all sources of water intrusion and high humidity levels in the crawl space with proper drainage and a crawl space dehumidifier. Homeowners should take special care when inspecting their crawl spaces for signs of wood rot caused by a wet crawl space in order to ensure that their homes remain structurally sound over time.
