Photo Album: Why Your Crawl Space Should Be Properly Ventilated

Crawl spaces are a very important part of your homes structural integrity. It is very important to keep your crawl spaces properly ventilated. If it isn't ventilated at all or properly then you could develop a serious mold problem. This mold can eat through your floor joist and main beams of your house causing sagging floors and a lot of damage to the rest of the home. Mold build up at a certain level can only be cured by replacing the boards completely and removing the old moldy joist. This can be expensive and rather time consuming. That's why it’s important to not only ventilate your crawl space properly but to check and maintain it so it doesn't reach that level.
