Crawl space is a shallow area under the home built instead of the traditional basement to create a foundation between the ground and the bottom of the home. Being shallow and thus far from comfortable to visit, crawl spaces tend to be the most neglected part of homes. What’s more, some homeowners do not even realize they should care about Crawl Space Cleaning Santa Cruz, as they do not also consider crawl spaces parts of their homes!
Crawl spaces may are concealed from your view, but they determine the quality of air in your home by 30% and have a direct impact on home preservation and energy efficiency. This is why regular crawl space inspection and professional crawl space cleaning are vital to preserving your home and your health.
Signs of Crawl Space Problems
Even if you have never inspected your crawl spaces for water leaks, debris or rodents, you may recognize signs of crawl space issues by
High level of humidity in your home
Dump and musty odors
High heating and cooling bills
Increased allergic reactions characteristic of exposure to dust mite waste, mold, and mildew
Signs of rodents and insects in your home
Dump and contaminated insulation in the floor joists
Remember that contacting rodents (both alive and dead), disturbing crawl space mold, or entering crawl spaces with damaged and compromised constructions may be extremely dangerous. If you see any of these signs and suspect issues in your crawl space, be sure to call Remedics crawl space cleaning experts for inspection and remediation.
WHY SHOULD AIR DUCTS BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED?
Air ducts get damaged from a number of factors such as age, poor design, and rodent damage.
Damaged duct work or air duct leaks affect the indoor environment in two main ways:
Cold air is lost before it effectively cools the indoor space. This makes your HVAC system work harder, using more energy and driving your utility bills up.
Leaks in the duct work introduce contaminants to the circulating air. This includes mold, dust, mites, pollen, bacteria, asbestos and other allergens.
