Types of Crawl Space Damage in Southern Ontario and Southern Alberta
Common Causes of Crawl Space Problems
Stack Effect
The stack effect is a phenomenon where warm air inside your home rises and escapes, causing a vacuum that pulls colder air into your crawl space.
This leads to high humidity and energy costs if your crawl space is not properly sealed and insulated. Humid air drawn condenses, causing mold, wood rot, underscoring the importance of ensuring your crawl space is well-maintained.
Soil Washout
When soil erodes, it reduces the support for the foundation, potentially causing settling or uneven floors above. This destabilization not only threatens the structural integrity of the home but can also lead to gaps and cracks in the crawl space walls, inviting moisture and pests that can further damage the area.
