Dirt Crawl Space Problem
The problem with dirt crawl spaces is moisture inside of the home – particularly because a home is made of organic materials, filled with objects made from organic materials, and lived in by a family.
This moisture comes from two sources –the ground and the air.
Moisture from the ground, exposed earth contributes a lot of water vapor into the crawl space air. The earth is damp, as that soil dries into the home, the water vapor moves upward into the house. Water can leak into a house in several ways: leaks, ground water seepage, humidity through crawl space vents, entering under the footing, leaking between the footing and wall, and seeping through cracks in poured walls.
Air is an efficient way to move water. Just think of how much moisture is moved to create a rainstorm! Air, especially humid air, moves easily in and out of places in vast quantities. Air brings its moisture content wherever it goes. Warm air holds more moisture them cool air., and when air is heated or cooled, its relative humidity changes.
Crawl spaces are cool because the earth is 55 degrees year round. When we bring warm, humid air into a crawl space, the air is cooled, and the relative humidity goes up. High relative humidity causes rot, mold, energy loss, and attracts pests.
