High Levels of Moisture in Metro Atlanta Crawl Space and the problems it causes.
When Relative Humidity levels surpass 60%, the ideal conditions for mold and dust mites to thrive are created. Warm, humid environments are also inviting to termites, carpenter ants and other pests.
Crawl spaces with vents and no adequate treatment tend to be humid year-round because of moisture from outside air and groundwater intrusion.
Encapsulating the crawl space and installing adequate drainage solves the problem of groundwater intrusion, while sealing the vents takes care of outside air infiltration. There is, however, a third source of moisture: condensation. In crawl spaces with HVC ducts and pipes, condensation occurs when the space itself and the elements in it are in different temperatures. For example, an air conditioner duct running cold air in a hot summer day or a pipe running hot water in a cold winter day.
Dehumidification: the definitive solution for crawl space mold problems
To keep your crawl space healthy year-round and maintain RH at safe levels, a good, energy-efficient dehumidifier is needed.
You should choose a model that is specifically designed for crawl spaces, rather than generic, hardware-store bought and portable models.
