Did You Get Your Crawl Space Vaccine This Year?

Every year millions of Americans get the flu shot. The purpose of vaccinations is to prevent something BEFORE it happens. It is genius if you think about it! Why go through a week or two of being unbearably sick with a high fever if one easy shot can help prevent it from happening? The same is true with your largest investment…your home. You could let things go; forget to change filters, never cut the grass, never clean up after ourselves, and let the house slowly get sick to the point where it is unlivable, but you don't because you care about the value, safety, and appearance of your home!

What does your crawl space have to do with anything?

Crawl Spaces are easy to forget about since you hardly spend any time in them.  Occasionally a plumber, cable guy, or electrician has to enter the crawl space to fix something, but other than these instances, your crawl space is not at the top of your mind. What is happening in your crawl space is affecting the rest of your home.

Winter is approaching and so are Polar Vortex temperatures! Did you know that you are losing energy through your Crawl Space? An unhealthy crawl space can increase your energy bills by 18%! That’s a lot of money. Cold air is rushing under your home through the crawl space; making it harder for your heating system to heat  your house. The cold air actually cools warm air from your heat as it passes through the ducts in the crawl space. A cold crawl space also makes the floors above it extra chilly. Foundation walls, vents, doorways, and rim joists all have to be sealed to prevent the cold winter air from ending up in your living room. If left untreated this can cost you a lot of money, deteriorate your home, and make you very uncomfortable during the winter.
