PROTECTING YOUR HOME

LEARNING HOW TO KNOW IF THERE IS AN ISSUE

If you've heard of Cleanspace, you've probably heard "healthy crawlspace".  When Cleanspace in installed, then there are guarantee's put in place to ensure your home is protected from exterior water issues to protect your homes life. When a home is built with a crawlspace, it generally means that there is exposed dirt. This exposed soil is not only damaging to your home, it can also be damaging to your health.

With exposed dirt, a homeowner doesn't just have to worry about pooling water, there could be mold growing from low levels of moisture alone. When a home experiences moisture it creates an inviting environment for unwanted bugs and critters.  In the bug category this can include termites which love moisture and will happily live off of the wood in a homes foundation. For critters, this could include numerous types of vermin which like to gnaw on wood, and burrow into insulation. No matter what kind of creature is making a living in a crawlspace, this will lead to excrement and often decay which seeps into the air around it and up into the home. This kind of intrusion is bad for your homes longevity as well as lowering the quality of the air you breath. 

So, even if your crawlspace appears dry, it would be good to have an expert come out and give a free evaluation of your crawlspace. Our team can test the humidity levels using a hygrometer.  If the number is above 50% you have a greenhouse effect which is perfect for growing mold and is an attractive environment for guests.  It costs you nothing but an hour or so to have it professionally inspected.  Call John's Waterproofing and schedule an inspection.  We want to ensure your home is clean and healthy!
