Must, moldy, humid crawlspace, and termites
Humidity can be a problem in certain areas of a structure. This is especially true of the crawlspace. A few warning signs can help you to identify humidity problems. A musty smell in the basement is usually indicative of mold growing somewhere nearby. Mold needs water to grow, so any signs of it point toward high humidity. Termite infestations are also a sign of high humidity. Termites usually only bore into wood that is damp. A humid crawlspace can be caused by a variety of things including poor drainage on the surrounding property and poor waterproofing. The good news is that it can be fixed! There are a number of solutions to this problem, depending upon the exact cause. Use our contact page to get in touch with a trained engineer at Advanced Engineering Construction today.
