NJ Home Inspector Explains How Crawlspaces Affect the Entire Home

Описание: As a NJ home inspector, I can tell you the crawlspace has more impact on the home than most people realize. It affects air quality, structure, comfort, and even energy efficiency. Most homeowners never think about it or even know what’s down there, but the crawlspace plays a big role in how a home performs.

In this video, I talk about what I find during New Jersey home inspections and why crawlspace moisture, mold, poor insulation, and missing vapor barriers often lead to bigger problems in the living space above. Moisture and humidity from the crawlspace rise into the home, carrying odors, mold spores, and contaminants. I’ll explain why proper ventilation, drainage, and encapsulation matter, and what homeowners can do to keep their crawlspace dry and healthy.

You will learn about:
– How crawlspace moisture and mold affect indoor air quality
– The importance of a vapor barrier on crawlspace floors
– Common crawlspace insulation mistakes I see during NJ home inspections
– Crawlspace ventilation vs. encapsulation, which works best and why
– Preventing foundation moisture, rot, and pest issues
– How a well-maintained crawlspace helps with long-term home maintenance and value

If your crawlspace is damp, musty, or hasn’t been inspected in years, it’s worth taking a look. A clean, dry crawlspace helps protect your foundation, improves air quality, and makes your home last longer.
