Causes of Mold, Odors & Other Crawl Space Problems in North & Central NJ,
Staten Island & Nearby Areas

The perfect environment for smelly mold and dust mites to thrive is created when relative humidity levels are at or above 60%. Warm humid environments are also inviting to termites, carpenter ants and other pests.
Crawl spaces are often humid because they receive moisture from both the ground and outdoor air. The venting of these areas can cause even more problems with mold, fungus growths on surfaces as well as structural damage over time due to condensation or water seepage into walls
In order to keep moisture from seeping into your crawl space, it is imperative that you encapsulate it and seal all of the vents. Then you are left to deal with moisture from condensation, which can be addressed with a good, energy-efficient dehumidifier. When this step has been completed correctly, condensation will be greatly reduced or even eliminated entirely!
