Crawl Space Problems
What to look for
Crawl space conditions can vary widely by climate zone. It’s recommended to thoroughly inspect the wood framing, testing with a wood moisture meter, digital hygrometer, and other essential equipment to get a complete evaluation. Our certified installers are trained to perform a comprehensive interior and exterior inspection, identifying potential problems, and providing sensible solutions.
