Throughout the year, your Georgia home faces red-hot summers, chilly weeks in winter, and days where the thermostat swings between warm and cool. These changes in temperature create humidity in your crawl space, leaving excess moisture on the surfaces and structure of your home. 

Damp organic materials such as furniture, stored clothing, or wood framing in these areas can quickly become food sources for mold and rot, which poses a health risk to your family. The air from your crawl space will make its way up to the rest of the house, carrying mildew and mold spores with it. 

Proper crawl space insulation can reduce these issues and prevent mold, mildew, and moisture problems from developing. You’ll also notice additional benefits such as better temperature control and reduced strain on your water heater, furnace, hot water pipes, and heating ducts.
