Moldy Crawl Space

Don’t Let a Moldy Crawl Space Affect Your Indoor Air Quality!

Water in your crawl space can lead to many different issues. One of the main issues that water damage causes to homes in Davenport is moldy crawl spaces. Crawl spaces are very dark and damp in nature, so when water damage is added to the mix, it creates the perfect environment for mold to grow. Mold can grow in as little as 24 hours, which is why it’s very important to catch any signs of water damage early to avoid mold growth.

Although some types of mold are worse than others, any mold is considered bad mold. Unfortunately for homeowners in Davenport, a moldy crawl space affects more than just your crawl space. The stack effect allows any air inside your crawl space to rise up through the floorboards of your home and enter your main living areas. Any mold spores that are in your crawl space can enter your home and cause health-related issues for your family.

Most people experience an increase in allergies or other respiratory-related symptoms. It can also create a musty smell in your home. This is why it’s very important to take care of water damage in your crawl space immediately to avoid the harmful impacts of a moldy crawl space.
