The 
crawlspace is the darkest and dankest area of the home and because of this is often avoided. When neglected, condensation can build up developing moisture which can make it’s way into the organic wood beams. Over time this moisture grows into mold and mildew. Crawlspace mold is often overlooked by homeowners and can impact health if no action is taken. Coughing and shortness of breath as well as lung and eye irritation can occur when moldy air is circulated throughout the home.
Summertime is when mold is most likely to grow in your crawlspace. When the outside air is much warmer than the cool musty air of the crawlspace condensation easily develops. The solution is to encapsulate your crawlspace. This is the act of waterproofing and sealing your crawlspace to keep it dry and clean. Applying a liner to the floor and walls of the area keeps moisture out and dry air in.
