Controlling Crawlspace Condensation and Mold
Raleigh's summer humidity routinely exceeds 80 percent. When this hot, wet air enters traditional crawlspace foundation vents, it hits the cool crawlspace earth and wood framing, condensing instantly. This creates a breeding ground for wood-decay fungi and mold under your floors. Closing your foundation vents during the humid summer months and running a dedicated crawlspace dehumidifier is the most effective way to prevent structural wood rot and preserve your floor joists.
