Conditioned Crawlspaces:
In the early 1950s crawl space foundation vents were introduced
to eliminate humidity in crawlspaces. Over time contractors and
inspectors realized the vents that were installed to remove humidity
in fact helped to increase the humidity level in most crawlspaces.
They allow hot humid air in the summer months to enter the cool
environment of a crawlspace. The humid air would condense and
create higher humidity levels under your home. This would eventually
lead to mold and fungus growth. Now building codes are changing
to allow builders to construct conditioned crawlspaces without
crawl space foundation vents. Conditioning the crawl space is the
practice of removing all components that cause moisture. ie:
leaking pipes, broken dryer vents, ground water entering through
the foundation, etc. A proper vapor barrier needs to be installed
to prevent moisture from evaporating from the soil into the home.
After the clean space has been created the air in the crawlspace
can be conditioned by one of several different ways depending
on the crawlspaces individual situation. All components need
to be in place or the desired results will not be achieved. Crawlspace
Doctor has developed systems to properly condition crawlspaces.
