Crawl Space Moisture: Florida’s Hidden Problem

While slab foundations dominate Florida construction, thousands of older and coastal homes have crawl spaces : and Florida’s humidity makes them prime territory for mold, wood rot, and structural decay.

Common Crawl Space Issues

  • Mold growth on floor joists, subfloor, and HVAC ducting
  • Wood rot in structural members from persistent moisture exposure
  • Standing water from high water table or poor drainage
  • Pest infestations : termites and wood-destroying organisms thrive in damp wood
  • Musty odors rising into living spaces through the floor system

Solutions

  • Vapor barrier (6-20 mil polyethylene) covering the ground surface
  • Crawl space encapsulation : sealed, conditioned crawl space with dehumidifier
  • Drainage improvements : sump pump, French drain, or exterior grading corrections
  • Mold remediation : HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment of affected framing

WrightWay provides crawl space mold remediation and restoration. Call (941) 379-8669 for inspection.

I had a very bad leak in my walk-in closet. I was very upset with the water and damage to the ceiling. WrightWay was notified and sent two professional workers Clarence and Csaba to make it right. They explained the work to be done in a very efficient way that I could comprehend, and I had confidence in the repair. It went without problems and completed in a few days without any further stress. They even cleaned up after so I required no work at all on my part. I would recommend these workers and this company to take care of any water damage.
