Out of sight -out of mind, definitely applies to crawlspaces. Most people don’t give much thought to waterproofing the area under their home commonly referred to as their crawl space. That said, waterproofing your crawl space is one of the best investments you make in your home.
Waterproofing your crawl space prevents moisture from accumulating which in turn decreases the chances of having a cracked foundation and/ or having mold growth. Believe it or not, the air in your crawl space is often circulated through your home thanks to something known as the “stack effect” which governs air flow/ circulation. So if there’s mold or humidity in your crawl space, then it’s going to find its way into your home and even worse into the lungs of you and your loved ones. In other words, you breathe whatever is in your crawl space, and while that mold may be out of sight and out of mind, it can have a very negative impact on the health of your family.
