If your Bellevue home has a crawl space, you may not be giving that area the attention it needs and deserves. We get it — it’s dark and dirty down there, and you, like most homeowners, probably avoid crawling under your house as much as you can. Especially in Bellevue and the rest of the Seattle area, a crawl space can also be wet and moldy, posing serious issues for your home’s structure, value, and the health of its residents.
The good news? Crawl Pros can help. Here’s why you should maintain a clean crawl space and how our crawl space cleanout services make it possible.
Reasons to Clean Out Your Bellevue Home’s Crawl Space
The following are some of the top reasons to clean out the crawl space of your home in Bellevue and keep it in tip-top shape:
Removes and Prevents Mold Presence
More than one kind of mold can be found in your home’s crawl space. Some pose serious health issues, such as respiratory problems and allergies. A crawl space clean-out can help identify these trouble spots.
Improves Indoor Air Quality
Crawl spaces should smell like soil and not have foul odors. Anything amiss in your crawl space, like mold, standing water, or rodents can impact your indoor air quality.
Finds and Controls Standing Water and Dampness
A crawl space clean-out can identify moisture issues as well as their cause, such as a plumbing lead or groundwater beneath your home. Once you have these issues under control, you won’t have to worry about moisture.
Reduces the Risk of Pesky Rodents
When there are dark spaces with nesting material, there’s a good chance you have unwanted critters taking up residence. Cleaning your crawl space is an excellent opportunity to get rid of rodents and block their future access to your space.
Deals with Crawl Space Insulation Issues
If you’ve had water damage or rodents before, you might have damaged or missing insulation in your crawl space. A service provider can identify trouble areas, remove damaged insulation, and replace materials where needed.
