If you have a crawl space that leaks when it rains - even if it’s only sometimes - getting the water problem under control should be the first step you take in fixing your overall crawl space problem.
Groundwater leaks and pooling water add humidity to your crawl space. A home with a dry crawl space is less attractive to mold, dust mites, termites, and other pests.
Getting rid of crawl space humidity can save you 15-25% on your heating and cooling costs. The exact savings will depend on several factors, including:
- the size of your home
- if there are ducts in the crawl space
- your local climate and soil conditions
