A buildup of water is going to lead to mold and mildew. Mold and mildew can eat through wood, causing structural problems. If your home has a wood foundation, which it probably does in New Jersey, you have to be careful about structural problems that may be lurking beyond the surface.

Basement waterproofing in NJ is commonly done to make sure that water never builds up inside your basement. You want to seal the wood and such in a way that even if water does get in there, it is not ruining your basement and your home’s foundation. Crawl spaces are likely found throughout your home as well – and they are not sealed.

Water is going to get into these crawl spaces. While it’s not going to be rain water and plumbing water (hopefully), dirt carries moisture. Dirt is able to get into these crawl spaces and before you know it, there is a buildup of moisture within the crawl spaces.

One of the best ways to improve the condition of your crawl spaces is with dehumidification. This is a process that dries out the crawl spaces so you no longer have to worry about built-up moisture. When there is no moisture, there is no mold and mildew, which means you don’t have to worry about structural damage, either.

There are a few ways to look into protecting your crawl spaces. Whether they are there and you ignore them or they are there and you are using them for storage, they are easily accessible. As long as dirt of any kind is able to flow into them, then they are vulnerable to moisture. Whenever there is too much moisture in the air, dehumidification is the answer.

A professional company can be hired to help with crawl spaces. Dehumidification is a common way to handle the moisture because the process removes all of the moisture in the area. This can dry up any exposed wood and ensure that there is no way for mold and mildew to form.

Dampness is going to be around your crawl spaces unless you do something about it. You shouldn’t have to worry about damaging your home simply because crawl spaces are present. At Jersey Dry, professionals can come in, dehumidify the spaces, and talk to you about permanent solutions within your home – such as venting and encapsulation.

Moisture isn’t a good thing to have in your home. It can ruin your belongings, your furniture, and everything else. When you blot up a water spill on the carpet, you do it to prevent problems. What happens when you can’t blot up the water found behind your walls and above your head? Dehumidification is the process that does this for you so that you won’t have to consider the possibility of structural damage in your home.
