THE AFFECTS OF WATER IN A CRAWLSPACE: 

 

Water line that is evident on cinder block walls in a crawlspace is a clear indication of flooding within. When flood waters have entered the crawlspace, it can leave behind bacteria, germs, viruses, disease, and odor.  Water in a crawlspace also occurs when there is a leak from a leaky pipe or a pipe that has burst from extreme cold weather conditions.

 

Allowing water to sit in your crawlspace leads to moisture damage. Moisture damage affects the infrastructure of the wood within.  Causing mold, mildew, fungi, & decay.  Bacteria, germs, viruses, and odor rises into your living space affecting your health and causing respiratory problems.

 

That's why it is imperative to begin with a thorough treatment and address any potential hazardous issues that lead to health problems in the long run.  DSV is a very important part of the process executed in the beginning stages of implementing the right solution for a dreadful situation. 

Contaminants in a home are a major concern, which can lead to serious consequences for those with weak or poor immune systems. This often occurs when there is some form of water intrusion, leaky pipe(s) or a water main break.  Additionally, flood waters are known to carry in unhealthy contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and/or fecal matter that can cause havoc to the crawlspace and home environment.  Since air rises, you may unknowingly be exposed these contaminats that can lead several forms of illnessness, depending on your underlying health issues and degree of contaminate.  As such, it is crucial to address all forms of contaminants by thoroughly sanitizing and disinfecting affected areas with diligence and care.
