One of the biggest factors that can lead to a pest infestation is excess moisture in a property. But where does excess moisture originate? Nearly 50% of the air in your household can flow upwards from a crawl space, which is why it’s so important to ensure this space is at normal humidity levels at all times. Professional crawl space moisture control services can help. While there are many methods to prevent moisture problems in your property, crawl space encapsulation is regarded as one of the most successful options.
Inman-Murphy, Inc. is proud to provide crawl space moisture control installation services to not only create a more comfortable living environment in your home, but also to help prevent pest problems year-round.
Why Crawl Space Moisture Control Is Important
Moisture is dangerous to any home precisely because it can build up from several sources unnoticed. The most common ways excess moisture problems start include the following.
- Plumbing leaks or leaks in the roof
- Spilled water from cooking, showering, washing dishes or clothes
- Broken or dysfunctional gutters, downspouts, or drains
- Flooding or sewer backup
- Damp basements, attics, and crawl spaces
As soon as you experience any of these problems or start to notice other moisture problems in the home, it’s time to contact the crawl space encapsulation installers at Inman-Murphy, Inc..
