Why Does My House Smell Musty?

If you live in a home that has a crawl space, there are many problems that can stem from this area. A crawl space is a perfect place for mold to grow, because it is dark, damp, has limited airflow, and has lots of organic material. The big issue is that mold growth in the crawl space will creep its way into the rest of the home. This is why you may notice your home feels humid after rain, has a musty odor, or there is unexplained mold growth throughout the rest of the home. Other signs that the crawl space may have a moisture issue are that hardwood floors begin buckling, doors and windows stick, or you have heightened allergies and asthma at home.

The solution is to encapsulate the crawl space and turn it into a conditioned area. This is achieved by closing off all outside air to the crawl space, then installing a drainage matting, vapor barrier, sump pump, and dehumidifier. This is a huge task that requires lots of equipment and training, so Olympic Restoration Systems makes it easy for you. We have an experienced team with professional training and equipment to install a crawl space encapsulation system in your home.
