Mold Development
With the amount of water that had leaked in over the past several years, mold had developed because water had made the air musty.
Is It Harmful?
To put it shorty, yes. Mold can be detrimental to the health of all of those that live inside this house. Team Woods recommends quickly cleaning up the mold to prevent the wood that supports the crawl space from rotting and weakening.
Water Inside
Because this crawl space had no means of protection against water, water would seep into the crawl space through the soil. Water can quickly turn any clean space into an unhealthy mess.
Major Leak
The amount of water that would leak inside was no small amount. Massive amounts of water would stand on the basement floor and caused the space to smell and become messy.
Serious Mud
Of course, once water comes in contact with dirt mud develops. Mud allows in unwanted critters inside and, as we have covered can cause mold to form.
Unwanted Critters
Unwanted critters were able to come inside, and this is the last thing any homeowner wants. Critters can turn the crawl space into a bug infested space can will harm the safeness of the area.
Water Stained Walls
Water had badly stained the walls due to the continuous leakage inside. Water will over time weak the walls causing them to bow, crack, and crumble. These are the many signs that a homeowner can check to see if a crawl space is in need of a CleanSpace vapor barrier system. A vapor barrier system will solve all of these issues, keeping the crawl space healthy, clean, and safe.
