Some crawl spaces, especially in older homes, are vented because it was required by building code. It was thought that open vents would help with the airflow through the crawl space and minimize the presence of moisture and mold.

Mold doesn’t necessarily cause sickness, but it can cause other health problems like wheezing, coughing, or allergies. In rare cases, mold could cause lung inflammation in some individuals.
While we can’t know the exact number, the humid environment native to the Tidewater Region makes mold a common occurrence in crawl spaces throughout the area.
While crawl space mold doesn’t need to cause panic, it’s still a good idea to address the issue quickly. There is no “acceptable” level of mold in a crawl space and ignoring it could lead to structural issues or health problems – both of which are cause for worry.

Sump pumps are activated by a float switch that detects the water level in the sump basin. The pump runs as long as it needs to pump the water out and lower the water level. For example, the water table is high throughout Virginia, especially during rainy seasons, so it isn’t a problem if the pump […]
