Why Is The Wood Rotting In My Crawl Space?

When it comes to pinpointing the cause of wood rot in a crawl space, Kefficient is here to help. Below are some of the most common reasons why the wood in your crawl space is impaired:

Humidity & Ventilation

For a crawl space to stay healthy, it needs adequate ventilation. Without a steady fresh air flow, a crawl space can quickly allow moisture buildup, becoming humid, leading to wood rot.

Standing Water

One of the worst things a crawl space can have is standing water. Standing water can soak into and quickly erode the integrity of the most robust wood posts.

Compromised Integrity

Wood rot can also set in when joists and rafters are split open and impaired, exposing untreated wood to the elements. This damage can be caused by foundation issues brought on by uneven ground and moisture.
