This is a scary time of year, when we must be ever-vigilant against zombies, monsters and evil clowns. But for some of us, there’s even scarier stuff going on right under our feet—in our houses’ crawl spaces. Crawl spaces aren’t the most inviting places in the world (spiders, anyone?) but they do need to be maintained throughout the year. This time of year is especially important because if there’s moisture down there it’s not hot enough for the water to dry up on its own. And if we get snow, as it melts it will seep into the crawl space if there are any breaches.
Moisture can lead to mold, rot and settling…and costly repairs. Now, that’s scary.
You can, and should, inspect your crawl space quarterly. But if you don’t have the time or inclination to do so, Falcone Crawl Space will do it for you.
