While winter in Carbondale is a joyous time, whether you are enjoying the Lights Fantastic Parade or the Big Muddy Film Festival; though, with winter come rain and the occasional snow shower. Rain and snow can lead to water damage to your home. You may notice that your crawl space or basement is wet or damp. If you have started noticing that your Carbondale crawl space is getting wet, then you should be aware of the dangers of ignoring water damage.
A Damp Crawl Space Can Lead to Health Issues
Not only can a damp crawl space lead to structural problems with your home, it can also cause a number of health issues. Moisture allows for the growth of bacteria and mold. The presence of mold is hazardous to your health and should be prevented at any cost. Do not ignore a damp crawl space, as it can lead to more severe problems to both your home and your family’s health. In addition to promoting the growth of mold, water in your basement or crawl space can also be a hazard when exposed to electric lines.
