A Foster, VA homeowner contacted us after they noticed moisture issues in their encapsulated crawl space. The homeowners had the crawl space encapsulated several years ago by a different company.
At our inspection, we found that there was puddling on the vapor barrier. This could be a result of several different factors. There could have been a failure in the liner that allowed moisture to get into the crawl space from the earth, condensation could be occurring on pipes and duct lines, or high relative humidity due to temperature changes in the space.
No dehumidifier was installed when the crawl space was encapsulated. Therefore, nothing has been regulating the relative humidity in the space and preventing moisture from building up. Even though the crawl space is air sealed, insulated, and sealed from the earth’s moisture, the crawl space is still going to suck in air, even though the smallest of holes therefore the relative humidity needs to be controlled.
The relative humidity is how much moisture air at that temperature can hold. As temperatures change in the crawl space so does the relative humidity. If this goes unchecked, it can allow mold growth to occur, the homeowners may notice musty odors in the home, and in extreme cases, can even result in wood rot.
Air running through duct lines can even contribute to the moisture and humidity in the crawl space, resulting in condensation on the ductwork which eventually evaporates into the air and can be absorbed by the wood or puddle on the liner, allowing the cycle to continue. Plumbing lines also allow condensation to occur as cold lines in a hot crawl space condensate.
