Moisture Control In Crawl Spaces And Homes

Raleigh Moisture Control

High Humidity In Your Home Can Cause Real Problems

Buck's offers a range of humidifiers by Therma-Stor and temp vents by Temp Vents, Inc. Humidity and moisture in homes and crawl spaces can create a wide range of problems from mold and mildew to insect infestations. Make sure you get expert advice regarding the safety of your home when it pertains to moisture control.

Some basic things that can be done to help control moisture is to insure gutters slope away from the foundation at least 5%(6 inches per 10 feet) todirect rain and surface water away from the house. Empty downspouts at least 8 to 10 feet from the foundation. Crawl spaces should be covered with a minimum of 6 mil polyethylene vapor barrier at grade level.

If your crawl space is moldy, or has a damp or musty smell, has a lot of standing water after heavy rain fall. If it is damaged from wood destroying fungi or inscets which are caused by moisture or high humidity, or you have termite or other wood destroying insect damage, or if it is chock full of nasty pests and insects such as spiders, termites, ants etc,. then you need to let Buck's come out and do a complete and thorough inspection of your crawl space.

If you are noticing yourself or members of your family are experiencing constant Flu like symptoms, foul odors in some areas of your home, soft flooring, or hardwood floors that are cupping, then now is the time to bring peace of mind that your family is breathing clean air in your home and not inhaling dangerous mold or other nasty things.
