At Cape Fear Foam LLC, we want to help you keep your home in the best possible condition, and we offer a range of services to do so. For example, we can install insulation to help keep your home comfortable and make it more energy efficient. We also offer solutions to protect your home from mold and other moisture problems, starting with our crawlspace moisture control services. In this article, we will go over a few reasons why crawlspace moisture control is important.
- Prevents Mold – As we mentioned above, crawlspace moisture control measures help protect your home from mold, algae, and similar organisms that love damp environments. Mold thrives in dark, moist environments such as the crawlspace under your home, so it’s wise to take steps to keep excess moisture out to discourage mold growth. It’s better to prevent mold now than to have to get rid of it later.
- Discourage Pests – Using crawlspace moisture control services will also help protect your home from other pests, including insects and rodents. These creatures, like all living things, need water to survive, and damp crawlspace makes a more hospitable home for them than a dry one. In addition, our moisture control measures frequently involve sealing your crawlspace with plastic barriers, which further discourage wildlife from taking up residence under your house.
- Improve Energy Efficiency – Lastly, using our crawlspace moisture control measures can help improve the overall efficiency of your home. Our moisture barriers also help prevent heat transfer, keeping your interior more comfortable and allowing your HVAC system to use less energy to achieve your desired results.
