Any number of dangerous situations could be lurking in your crawl space.
For starters, moisture can lead to several expensive issues that can be detrimental to your health, especially if there is, or has been, a water leak in the basement or nearby your home. Trapped moisture is the perfect breeding ground for mold, mildew, and fungi. Furthermore, moisture in your crawl space can rot wood and damage crawl space insulation. Crawl space cleaning in Seattle is especially necessary for such a consistently damp and wet climate.
Animals love to make themselves at home in crawl spaces, including rats, mice, raccoons, and bats. It’s a safe and warm place to hunker down and build a family. While great for them, it can be dangerous, uncomfortable, and scary for you. Feces and urine compromise the structural integrity of your home and can encourage the growth of dangerous bacteria that’s unhealthy for your family. Furthermore, decomposing rodent bodies emit an awful smell that is sure to ruin Sunday dinner.
If family members suddenly display certain uncontrollable and unexpected allergic symptoms like a stuffy nose, asthma, sneezing, acute bronchitis, or itchy/watery eyes, you may be dealing with a dirty crawl space. Though not a certainty, chronic health conditions could be the result of a crawl space that has not been regularly cleaned and maintained. Maintaining your home’s crawl space is an important aspect of keeping the air in your home safe for you and your family.
Most people pay attention to the insulation behind the walls and in the attic. But, the crawl space insulation is just as important to the overall energy efficiency of your home.
From mold, dust, and debris to poorly done insulation, standing water, and rodent infestations, a dirty and clogged crawl space could mean your HVAC unit is working overtime to heat and cool your home. If you notice high energy bills, your unmaintained crawl space could be the culprit.
Stop wasting energy and money, and avoid a costly repair by seeking help from our Seattle crawl space professionals.
Most people don’t take pleasure in the thought of cleaning a crawl space. Mold, debris, standing water, and rodent infestations are enough to shock homeowners. If you notice declining air quality or poor energy efficiency, or if you recently suffered from a water leak, you need professional crawl space cleaning ASAP. It’s not recommended to do the job on your own. Contaminated and dirty crawl spaces are best left to the professionals.
