Crawl space moisture is a problem in many homes in Santa Barbara, Santa Clarita, Oxnard, Thousand Oaks, Ventura and Santa Paula California.
Organic materials- wood in particular- have three main enemies: water, heat, and ultra-violet radiation. Of these three problems, water is easily the most important.
Having a dirt, vented, and/or unconditioned crawl space under your home is very damaging and expensive for your home. A dirt crawl space- and even a concrete one- will have a very high humidity level in Californian soil. This water vapor will travel through the crawl space and be pulled upwards into your home environment.
Allowing a damp environment to exist in your home will be very unhealthy and destructive for you. Mold can thrive there and spread millions of airborne spores around your home- and some of these spores are even toxic! Your heating and cooling costs are higher (especially if you have a vented dirt crawl space), and insects and rodents of all kinds will flock to the damp, wet environment to live and die there. Rot and decay will form and grow on your housing structure as well as anything else it can reach, and you will have your property and home structure damaged and eventually ruined.
Crawl spaces in California can be unhealthy even when they’re not wet or flooding.

The natural airflow in the house moves the air from the lower levels up and through the top. As this happens, crawl space air is pulled out and through the house. Any mold spores, odors, dust mite feces, or humidity in the space will be brought into the house and will create a very unhealthy living space for those living in the home. Allergies and asthma can be worsened and a variety of damaging health effects can be created. Many people suffering from these health effects don’t even realize that the cause of their problems is their crawl space!
