Water damage to the crawl space is a common issue where excess moisture infiltrates the area beneath the home, potentially leading to structural damage and mold growth.

Causes:
● Leaking pipes or plumbing fixtures above the crawl space.
● Poor drainage or grading around the foundation.
● Flooding from heavy rainfall or rising groundwater.
● Condensation buildup due to inadequate ventilation.
● Damaged or deteriorating crawl space insulation.

Damage from this problem can include:
● Structural weakening of floor joists and support beams.
● Mold and mildew growth on wooden surfaces and insulation.
● Pest infestations attracted to damp environments.
● Increased energy bills due to reduced insulation effectiveness.
● Compromised indoor air quality from mold spores and allergens.
