Why Is It Important?
Your crawl space contains many important components of your home that keep it functioning smoothly, such as pipes and cables, as well as insulation. If it's in need of repairs, however, all of these may be threatened. If water is able to get in from a broken vapor barrier, it will cause pipes to rust and wooden structures to rot, which can break down over time. It will also wreck insulation and cause mold that will eat away at things as well as spread hazardous spores. If the insulation is damaged, you'll be losing on energy spending too from air being able to escape. If the damage is bad enough, you may have health issues, or your floors growing uneven due to the crawl space collapsing beneath them.
What Are Signs Of A Problem?
There are many indications to look out for, both in and outside of your crawl space. If you're able to look inside with a flashlight and see brown or green discoloration, bowing of the wood structures, or standing water, these are all indications that something is wrong. There may be a foul odor that comes when even just being near the entrance to the area as well, meaning there's a possible mold issue. Problems with allergies or breathing disorders like asthma even indoors are another signal that there's trouble.
