What We Commonly Find Under Homes

Most homeowners never see their crawlspace. These are the common conditions we find underneath homes and why they matter.

Unexpected Conditions

Vegetation beneath a home is uncommon and may indicate conditions that allowed it to grow. Possible contributing factors can include moisture and other environmental conditions within the crawlspace.Findings like these can provide useful clues about moisture conditions and the overall environment beneath a home.

Humidity Levels

Relative humidity is one of several factors that can help describe conditions within a crawlspace.This crawlspace measured 78.3% relative humidity at the time of observation. Humidity levels may fluctuate throughout the year and can be influenced by weather, ventilation, moisture sources, and other environmental conditions.Monitoring humidity over time can provide useful insight into changes within the crawlspace environment.

Water Intrusion

Water is not typically expected within a crawlspace.In this example, standing or flowing water was observed beneath the home. When present, water may originate from a variety of sources, including plumbing leaks, drainage conditions, groundwater, or seasonal weather patterns.Observations like these can provide useful clues about moisture conditions beneath a home and may help identify areas that warrant further evaluation.

• Back

Excess Debris

Crawlspaces can accumulate debris over time from a variety of sources, including previous construction work, deteriorated materials, or items left behind during repairs.In this example, wood, masonry, and other debris were observed beneath the home. Excess debris may make it more difficult to observe conditions beneath a home and can sometimes conceal conditions that would otherwise be visible during an assessment.Removing unnecessary debris can help improve accessibility and provide a clearer view of the crawlspace environment.

• Back

Fallen Insulation

Insulation is commonly installed beneath a home's floor system to help moderate temperature transfer between the crawlspace and living space above.In this example, insulation was observed hanging from the floor system and resting on the crawlspace floor. Over time, insulation may become displaced due to age, moisture, animal activity, previous work, or other environmental factors.Observations like these can provide additional insight into overall crawlspace conditions and may help identify areas for further observation or evaluation.
