your homes health

An Unprotected Crawl Space could Damage Your Home.

Normal crawl spaces are vunerable to the elements, and an open invitation to pests that feed on your home. How often do you check your crawl space?

  • Subterranean Termites cause over a billion dollars a year in damage to homes in America
  • White Rot can severely damage wood causing it to shrink and collapse
  • Brown Rot causes cracks that run perpendicular to the wood grain.
  • House Mice nest in crawl spaces during the winter months to escape the snow and cold.









indoor air quality health concerns

1. Mold & Moisture are dangers to the health of your family and home.

Mold in your crawl space eats away at floor joists and beams causing just as much damage as termites would. Mold spores circulate from your crawl space through the rest of your living area and fill the air your breathe and spreading to other damp areas. People who are sensitive to mold may experience health problems such as; irritated skin, eyes, thoat, lungs and causing a stuffy nose, or wheezing. The mycotoxins that some molds produce can cause asthma attacks and mold infections in lungs.

2. Radon gas is the second leading cause of lung cancer in America.

The EPA estimates radon-related lung cancer deaths each year in the United States to be around 20,000 people.  After smoking, radon exposure is the leading cause of lung cancer in America today. Radon gas can not be detected by sight, taste or smell. It is produced by the natural decay of uranium in soil and water.  Radon is a form of ionizing radiation and a proven carcinogen. Lung cancer is the only known effect on human health from exposure to radon.

3. Dust Mites trigger asthma attacks.

These microscopic animals thrive in high humidity conditions, in fact they can't live in low humidity. Dust Mites absorb moisture from the air and your crawlspace is the number one entry point for moisture in any home. A typical crawl space provides all the necessary conditions for dust mites to thrive.

Body parts and feces from dust mites can trigger asthma in individuals with allergic reactions to dust mites, and exposure to dust mites can cause asthma in children who have not previously exhibited asthma symptoms.

The DryCrawl™ System will permanently seal out moisture from the crawl space area, making it your best defense against Dust Mites in your home.
