Problem Substances Can Settle in Your Crawlspace

Excess humidity caused by the evaporation of standing water or wet soil conditions in your crawlspace will create mold and bacteria growth on the wooden floor joists and the bottom of sub-flooring. Crawlspace water can also cause the insulation to lose it’s R Value or even fall down.

We have seen hardwood floor cupping and buckling when crawlspace moisture is high. In addition, mold growth in the living area can occur, especially where the walls and floor meet. Waterborne bacteria and mold can enter duct work and cause significant indoor air quality problems.

Crawlspace Conversion to Basement or Living Space

A crawlspace conversion is the act of converting the area into a more usable space.

Depending on your need, you can convert your crawlspace into many different types of room such as a basic basement, an office, bedroom, home gym, workshop or garage.

However, this will require some major remodeling as you will need to dig out the space, making it large enough to walk through.
