Crawl Space Ventilation Services

Crawl Space Ventilation Solutions in the Philadelphia PA, Cherry Hill NJ & Wilmington DE Areas

With air naturally rising from the crawl space, unsealed openings let in outside air while spreading dirt, mold, and allergens inside. As a result, your family may be exposed to poor air quality, increasing the risk of allergies and respiratory illness.

While crawl space vents aim to improve ventilation by bringing in outside air, they can be problematic in unfavorable weather. These vents may introduce moisture, freezing conditions, or humidity, leading to further damage in the crawl space.

To safeguard your crawl space from mold, mildew, unpleasant odors, and potential damage, it’s crucial to seal your vents. This barrier prevents outside air, pests, and moisture from intruding into the space. Our vent covers are installed securely to form a tight seal, providing a fast and efficient solution that protects your home from harmful external conditions.

Vented crawl spaces causing moisture problems, mold growth, and wood rot in homes

Vented Crawl Spaces are Trouble

Since crawl spaces are comparatively easier to build up than the basement foundation, construction workers always emphasize it. Traditional crawlspaces make the most of the air vents walls in order to let the air pass under your living spaces.

If insulation is present, it’s typically fiberglass batts installed between crawl space joists, and the floor is usually composed of soil or concrete. However, this setup offers minimal protection against moisture and temperature changes.

Crawl space of this type is problematic particularly during the summer because it absorbs moist air which ultimately gets compressed on the surface. Constant warm air in crawl space results in various issues like moisture, mold growth, and rotten wood.

Besides, Damp wood creates an inviting environment for pests like termites and carpenter ants, which can cause significant structural damage. Moreover, fiberglass insulation tends to absorb moisture, leading to sagging or detachment, eventually settling on the crawl space floor. During winter, the absence of proper insulation results in cold floors, forcing heating systems to work harder. As a result, homeowners face increased energy costs and potential long-term issues with comfort and efficiency.

Indoor air pollution is a constant concern, regardless of the season. Mold spores from the crawl space infiltrate living areas through cracks and gaps in walls and floors, potentially triggering allergies, respiratory issues, and other health complications for those inside the home.
