Did you know that roughly 40% of the air in your home comes through your homes crawlspace? Contaminated, dirty, or poorly insulated crawlspaces can negatively affect the air quality in your home.

Since crawlspaces are prone to moisture they act as a breeding ground for mold and insects. Your air conditioner can potentially transfer this dirty air into your home. Following a flood, you should always have your crawlspace inspected by the industry leading professionals at SERVPRO of Greater St. Augustine / St. Augustine Beach. Grossly contaminated water can negatively impact the health of your family who may have asthma or immune system issues.

Our friends at Bug Away in St. Augustine help us to keep crawlspaces free of rodents, termites, and other pests, and our team of #local restoration experts can help eliminate the mold that may be affecting your indoor air quality.

Encapsulating your crawl space creates a moisture-proof barrier which helps to increase indoor air quality and will contribute to longevity of the homes HVAC system.
