Humidity Control:
The theories behind the control of humidity in crawlspaces of
buildings have changed over the years. It has been previously
believed that the proper way to control humidity has been to
utilize foundation vents to increase air flow within the crawlspace.
The increase of air flow was designed to allow humidity to escape
through the foundation vents to the outside of the building.
Building codes required installing foundation vents according
to the size of the crawlspace. Building codes have now changes
throughout the country to allow for "conditioned crawlspaces".
The foundation vents that were originally designed to eliminate
humidity actually help to increase the level of humidity in most
crawlspaces. Instead of allowing humidity to escape, the foundation
vents allowed hot, humid air in the summer to enter the cool
crawlspace. The humid air then condensed on the cool water pipes
and air conditioning pipes and dramatically increased the level
of humidity in the crawlspace. The increase of humidity created
conditions suitable for mold and fungus growth. "Conditioned
crawlspaces" eliminate excessive humidity in crawlspaces and
help eliminate the conditions that allow for mold and mildew
growth. Crawlspace Doctor has developed systems to control humidity
in crawlspaces.
