Obtaining the Fifth Fuel is an absolute necessity not only for sustainability but for the health and comfort of homeowners. Saving money on your energy bills is an important factor but the health of your family comes without a price tag.
Health Effects of Poor Indoor Air Quality
According to the American Lung Association, “Poor indoor air quality can cause or contribute to the development of infections, lung cancer, and chronic lung diseases such as asthma."
The U.S. Environment Protection Agency states that, “crawl spaces where relative humidity is high are common sites of hidden mold growth, particularly if the crawl space has a bare earth floor. The moisture that accumulates in a crawl space may also enter another part of the building and contribute to mold growth there. Moisture can pass from a crawl space into a building through cracks in walls, floors, and ceilings.”
Crawl Space Air Throughout Your Home
What’s in your crawl space? Many homeowners haven’t been in their crawl space, others only when needed. "Good thing my crawl space doesn’t look like that," is something we hear all the time. Most crawl spaces don’t look bad at a glance. But would you want to spend several hours down there? This is what’s happening with a vented crawl space, most of the air in your home comes from the crawl space and over time, that crawl space will begin to look like these pictures.
