Is It Time To Encapsulate Your Crawl Space?

Long before homeowners call Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas, they may have an idea that something isn't right, they just aren't sure what that something is! We want to help you identify the signs that your crawl space is the problem so you can make an informed decision!

One of the first signs homeowners notice is an unpleasant smell, especially after it rains. It may smell musty, muddy, or "earthy". This is a sign that your crawl space is holding water. Since up to 50% of the air you breathe inside your home comes from your crawl space, if there is a bad smell down there, you will smell it inside your home. Another sign is a sagging or uneven floor, this usually means that moisture has warped the support structures of your home, including your subfloor. Cracks in the walls or ceiling are a strong indicator that moisture is causing problems. You may also notice higher utility costs, since moisture around your floor joist insulation destroys its integrity and makes it sag and fall. If you notice any of these signs, it's time to call Crawl Space Solutions of Arkansas!
