A clean crawl space isn’t just easier to organize, but also has a good impact on both your health and your wallet!
All Sorts of Allergens
If your crawl space is wet or smelly, you should have it cleaned as soon as possible. Why? Well, because dirt is an excellent collector of the tiniest contaminants and moisture is a wonderful breeding ground for mold. And since a considerable portion of the air you breathe at home is drawn from your crawl space, these allergens can become a health threat to you and your loved ones. Once our technicians do their magic, the air rising up into your home will be dryer and allergen-free!
Ideal Home for Pests
You would think crawl spaces are not much visited because people don’t frequent them often. But they do have visitors, and sometimes lots of them. Rodents and insects like nothing better than a dark and peaceful spot with a quick access to food and water to boot. In addition, damaged insulation is a perfect nesting place for vermin like mice and rats - both notorious disease carriers. Don’t you worry; we can remove their droppings and urine, decontaminate the area and seal all entry points to prevent future infestations.
High Utility Bills
Poorly maintained crawl spaces are full of cracks and holes that allow water and moisture to get inside. Excessive moisture will lead to mold growth, but will also damage the insulation. And when the insulation becomes damaged, wet or starts to hang down, it’s not doing a very good job at protecting your home from heat and cold. This means your HVAC will have to work harder to reach and maintain the desired temperature level.
