Summer Heat = Crawlspace Humidity: Why Now’s the Time to Act
Summer brings sunshine, BBQs—and unfortunately, high humidity. While we enjoy the warmth above ground, what’s happening beneath your home might be a different story. Your crawlspace could be trapping moisture and turning into the perfect breeding ground for mold, pests, and long-term damage.
If you haven’t thought about your crawlspace lately, now’s the time. When the outdoor temperature rises, warm, humid air finds its way into your crawlspace—especially through foundation vents or uncovered ground. That moisture gets trapped, and because crawlspaces are dark and poorly ventilated, it lingers.
Even if you don’t see it, you might feel it:
-
Musty odors creeping into your home
-
Increased allergy symptoms or respiratory irritation
-
Warped or cupping hardwood floors above
