Musty odors and mold growth can cause respiratory issues for your family and are usually caused by excess moisture in your home’s crawlspace. Your living space pulls air up out of the crawlspace, into the rest of your home, so it’s important that that air is clean and dry.
Some causes of wet crawlspaces are:
- Cracks in your foundation
- House settling
