Crawl Space Repair - High humidity in crawlspace in Saint Elmo, IL
Humidity can be high in a crawlspace that hasn't been encapsulated. A good sign that humidity is high is condensation on ductwork like can be seen here in this Saint Elmo crawlspace. High humidity can foster mold growth and rot the floor joists above as well as create an environment perfect for insects and other pests. High humidity can also cause musty smells and allergens that come into the home due to the stack effect. Along with the CleanSpace encapsulation system, Woods recommends the SaniDry dehumidifier. The SaniDry is an energy efficient dehumidifier that can remove up to 109 pints of water from crawlspace air per day, preventing musty smells, mold and rot and keeping the air in the home safer to breath.
