Inspection of Crawl Spaces
The crawl space in your home should be inspected at least twice a year. It should be done once in the spring and once in the fall. These inspections are important because they will let you know if you have flooding, extra moisture, mold, mildew, or damage to your structure.
Crawl spaces flood easily and can have water damage because of the ground below being wet or bad water control. If your crawl space becomes too wet, it can create cracks in the foundation and leaks inside of your home. The best way to prevent your home from wetness or flooding is to make sure that your gutters and downspouts are clean from debris, and that they are 4-6 feet away from the foundation.
