"I never go down there. So why should I care?" Many homeowners in South Carolina know their crawl space is nasty, so they don't go down there unless they absolutely have to. They shut it out of their often visited places in their house and shut it out of their mind.
But what they don't know is that whatever is in their crawl space air is in their entire house, whether they spend any time in the crawl space or not. If there is high humidity downstairs, there is higher humidity upstairs than there would be otherwise. If there is mold in the crawl space, there are mold spores upstairs. This is because your house is one building and operates as a system. You can't have one part of the building that is sick, and another part that is healthy. You can't rationalize that you never go in the crawl space so you aren't affected by it. Why? Simple. Air mixing.
Venting your crawl space isn't the right solution. In fact, it can make the problem worse, because those vents let hot, wet, or cold air in, making your floors cold upstairs in winter and hot in summer. An independent study revealed that homeowners who properly fix their vented dirt crawl space can save 15% - 20% on their heating and air conditioning costs! So fixing your crawl space is one home repair you can't afford not to make.
The good news is that, Basement Systems, the world leader in dry basement and crawl space technology, developed the CleanSpace System, an ultimate solution to dirt crawl spaces.

Comment: We have water pooled under our house that won't drain. We were advised to get a sump pump. We have mold remediation quotes to remove mold/mildew under the house. They cannot do any cleaning until the water that's currently there is gone. Could we have someone check out the situation and give us a quote? Thanks!
