Do You Need Crawl Space Protection for Your Baltimore Home?



Many homeowners in Baltimore have properties that are built over a crawl space, and a lot of these homeowners tend to pay little or no attention to the space. This is because they do not use the space and have no interest in it, which means that it simply gets neglected. However, by ignoring the crawl space, you could find yourself facing huge problems due to damage that goes unaddressed and creates a range of additional issues.

Uneven floors can certainly become a trip hazard and unsightly over time. So, yes, they could be dangerous, especially for people with mobility issues. However, the real problem is whatever caused the differential settlement that led to the floor becoming uneven. If differential settlement isn’t fixed, it could lead to structural damage.

Professionals don’t recommend DIY crawl space inspection because the untrained eye can easily miss something important. Also, spiders, snakes, harmful rodent droppings, and asbestos insulation are just a few things you might encounter in a crawl space. Professional, licensed foundation repair contractors have the training and experience necessary to properly and safely inspect a crawl space.

Many homes built on crawl space foundations suffer from poor moisture management. Water can cause a lot of issues for your home including decreasing your home’s structural integrity. Crawl space encapsulation is the first line of defense against high humidity and poor indoor air quality. These encapsulation barriers are 10 to 20 mil thick, puncture resistant, and made of a high tensile strength material that stops soil moisture from entering the space.

This is why you need to keep a close eye on the crawl space and keep it properly maintained. If any damage occurs, it is important that you find crawl space repair in Baltimore to get it looked at and repaired. This will stop the problem from getting any worse, so it will provide protection for your home and enable you to save money in the long run. In this article, we will look at why you need to ensure you get your crawl space protected.
