This cottage homeowner had concerns for her crawlspace. The area was causing moisture problems through the home and posed a potential threat for mould to grow.

Crawl spaces are known to be dark, muggy, and often places we homeowners wouldn’t choose to go to unless completely necessary. However, many homeowners don’t understand how essential a crawl space is to the rest of the home. Your crawl space is a buffer between your home and the wet earth below. Unfortunately, as your crawl space works to protect your home, it can also collect too much humidity from water collection.
