The Importance of Sealing Crawl Space Vents

Your home’s crawl space is an often overlooked but crucial part of your living environment. One common issue that homeowners face is the infiltration of outside air through crawl space vents. While these vents are intended to promote air circulation and dry out the crawl space, they can also create problems by allowing dirty air, moisture, and pests to enter your home. This is especially concerning because homes tend to “breathe” from the bottom up, meaning that air from the crawl space can circulate throughout the entire house.

The Dangers of Unsealed Crawl Space Vents

When outside air enters your crawl space, it can carry dirt, mold spores, and other particles that can lead to allergy symptoms and various health issues for you and your family. Additionally, in certain weather conditions, such as those involving high humidity, freezing temperatures, or excessive moisture, unsealed crawl space vents can contribute to the growth of mold and mildew, unpleasant odors, and structural damage.

Sealing Crawl Space Vents

To protect your home and your health, it’s important to take action and seal off your crawl space vents. By doing so, you can prevent the entry of outside air, as well as other unwanted elements such as insects, extreme temperatures, and moisture. At EcoSpect, we offer vent covers that are mechanically attached to create an airtight bond. This helps to keep your crawl space—and by extension, your entire home—dry, healthy, and free from potential hazards.

Invest in the health and safety of your home by sealing your crawl space vents. Contact EcoSpect today to learn more about our vent sealing services in the Finger Lakes region.

FAQs

What are some problems associated with wet crawl spaces?

Wet crawl spaces can cause a whole host of problems. Some of these include harboring insects, rodents, and small animals, as these types of critters love damp and dark spaces. Mold and mildew also thrive in this environment, as moisture buildup allows their growth. This unfortunate growth will hurt the foundation and structural integrity of your home and over time, devalue your property as a whole.

How do I know if I need crawl space waterproofing?

If you start to notice excess water building up around the foundation of your home and the entrance to your crawl space, it may be time to give EcoSpect a call to have us come take a look at your space to assess what waterproofing needs to be done. Also, if you live in an area of high humidity, frequent rain, or in a valley where water collects, waterproofing is probably a good idea.

What causes moisture buildup in a crawl space?

Moisture buildup in crawl spaces can be caused by many things. Some of the most common causes are surface water, groundwater, frequent rainfall, inadequate drainage, and high humidity. Again, this moisture buildup only leads to further problems, including mold, mildew, infestation, and foundational issues

What is the best way to handle moisture and water in my crawl space?

The best way to deal with a wet crawl space is to dehumidify it initially and then waterproof it before it becomes a bigger problem. To successfully reduce moisture and groundwater, we can achieve this by combining our top-rated products with our expert techniques. Crawl space waterproofing ensures that your crawl space remains protected from surface water.

How long does crawl space waterproofing with EcoSpect typically take to complete?

Depending on the size of your crawl space, this will vary. We will go over an estimated time to complete your project when we come to provide you with your free estimate. Typically our crawl space waterproofing take between one and three days to complete.

What is a vapor barrier in terms of crawl space waterproofing?

Our vapor barrier is the material that is used to prevent moisture from entering the crawl space. It is installed on the floor and walls of the crawl space and will fully seal your space to prevent moisture and humidity from entering.

Can a dehumidifier or one of your dehumidifying systems help with moisture in my crawl space?

Absolutely! Our dehumidifiers and their systems are designed to remove moisture from spaces. We can install one in your crawl space to further remove any moisture that may be present.

How often should I have my crawl space inspected?

We recommend having crawl spaces inspected on an annual basis. This is to ensure that no moisture, critters, or insects have found their way in and to have upkeep with any maintenance that needs to be done.

Will waterproofing my crawl space improve the air quality in my home?

Yes, crawl space waterproofing can improve the air quality in your home by reducing the amount of mold and mildew spores that can enter the air in and around your home. Think of heat rising and coming up through your floorboards. By waterproofing your crawl space, you are decreasing mold and mildew and keeping them out of your home.

Can I use my crawl space for storage after it has been waterproofed?

Yes, you can use your crawl space for storage after it has been waterproofed, which is another selling point and improvement on your home’s value. However, it is recommended to use waterproof containers to protect your belongings and not keep valuables in this space, as it can be accessible from the outside.
