Many homes built on crawl space foundations in North Carolina suffer from poor moisture management. Some of the common symptons of crawl space moisture are: Mold or moisture damage in the crawl space or living area; Musty odors in the living area; Condensation (sweating) on HVAC ductwork or equipment; Condensation on insulation, water pipes or truss plates in the crawl space; Buckled hardwood floors; High humidity in the area; Insect infestations; or rotting wooden framing members.
These symptoms are most often noticed in the humid spring and summer seasons, but actually can occur at any time of the year. Often, the heating and air conditioning contractor is the first person the resident calls to deal with the problem. Typically though, the problem is not due to a failure of the HVAC system; it results from poor moisture control in the crawl space.
For many years, building codes and contractors have prescribed ventilation with outside air as the primary method of moisture control in crawl spaces. In the humid Southeast, however, ventilation with outside air only makes moisture problems worse. Many government agencies now recommend that a new type of crawl space system, with NO vents to the outside, can provide greatly improved moisture control and significant energy savings when properly installed.
