Crawl Spaces

Abbotts: San Diego Crawl Space Specialists

The crawl spaces in your home’s attic, basement and structural cavities provide access to mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment and fixtures. If not properly constructed and maintained, they also provide opportunities for wasted heating and cooling energy, insect or rodent infestation and hazardous mold growth. If you are experiencing an issue with your crawl space call Abbotts immediately, and our experts will respond within 60 minutes.

Creepy, Crawly and Just Gross

Building ventilation systems usually run through crawl spaces, so leaky ductwork, coupled with pest or mold infestation can result in air contaminated with rodent droppings, decaying food cached by pests and mold spores.

Pests, and trapped water can damage vapor barriers, resulting in still worse damage like mold and rotten structural materials. And poorly insulated crawl spaces can spill expensive heat into the winter night. Fortunately, all of these potentially costly crawl space issues can be avoided.

The Importance of Vapor Barriers

Vapor barriers are just what their name suggests: a barrier to keep moisture from entering your home’s crawl spaces. They keep water from diffusing through walls, floors and ceilings, protecting your property from potential mold damage and infestations.

In addition to protecting your home from potentially damaging moisture, vapor barriers assist in maintaining desired indoor climates by reducing the humidity inside.

Crawl spaces are often dark, musty, unpleasant places. We get it. They’re gross. We don’t mind getting into the inner workings of your home or business, cleaning things up and making the building breathe, cycle air and expel excess moisture as it was designed to do.
