The crawl space does not have to be wet or flooded to be extremely unhealthy. Mold thrives in this damp environment and spreads by producing millions of airborne spores-a rare few of which are even toxic. Insects and critters of all kinds love damp environments and wet materials. Rot and decay occur in damp environments causing structural damage.

The natural airflow in a house is from bottom to top. This sucks the moist air, up into the living areas of the home. Mold spores, odors, humidity and critters create a very unhealthy environment for people. Many people are allergic to these things, and experience a host of symptoms which unknowingly to them are caused by the crawl space.
