CRAWL SPACES
Your crawl space is so important that your home may become a nightmare if you overlook it. And a crawl space plays a fundamental role in air circulation because it provides access to several installations such as wiring, plumbing, and ducts.
Neglected crawl spaces lead to many issues. In this sense, they bring moisture, fungus, and rot to living spaces in the rest of the home. However, following the early stages of crawl space damage, pests are the most creepy problems you will face later or sooner.
WILDLIFE
Common pests can be a usual nuisance in crawl spaces, but owners can be less prepared for unexpected encounters: wildlife. When we refer to wildlife, we are talking about mammals such as raccoons, opossums, chipmunks, squirrels, and bats that sometimes find their way into basements or crawl spaces. For example, raccoons are the most frequent visitors, and they tend to explore crawl spaces to find a place where build a den. And these species can lead to the accumulation of animal waste and damage to insulation and other structures. Also, raccoons can become aggressive if you try to get them out of your house.
SIGNS In this sense, some signs may indicate the presence of wildlife critters in your home. Strange Noises B ad Odors Animal Droppings Dead Animals
ANIMAL BONES
One of the most creepy things you can find in a crawl space is a dead animal. Indeed, you might find dead animals under your home because they usually crawl under your crawl space or basement and die. And dead animals can spread disease, causing potential and severe health issues among household occupants. Some animals like opossums enter insulation and cannot find an exit, causing imminent death. In these cases, you can note fly eggs in the affected lining area, and you must cut and replace it with new material.
Believe it or not, mold may be very creepy, especially in a very advanced stage of development. In the first instance, mold can cause health problems, even if it is not considered “toxic.” On the other hand, mold and mildew provide your crawl space or basement with a gloomy atmosphere.
