AFS (Alabama Foundation Specialists)
Changing Weather, Changing Moisture
Every year we all seem to complain that we jump from winter right into summer all to quickly. This past week was the perfect example-- temperatures quickly rose to over 90 degrees across Alabama and the South, and it seemed that Spring was over all too quickly.
At the end of the week, a cold front finally ushered in a short break from the humid temperatures ( temps that none of us seemed like we were ready to deal with yet!!!). But, dramatic swings in temperatures, plus additional rain, are a very good reason to be checking your home's crawlspace or basement.
Changing temperatures and drastic swings in humidity change the dew point and the amount of moisture in the air... and under your home.
- Does your home have a musty odor or smell? How about your crawlspace?
- Is there standing water around your home, or in your crawlspace?
- Do you have a vented crawlspace?
- Is your crawlspace finished, or does it have a dirt floor?
