Crawl Space Care: Winterizing Below Your Home

Prepare Crawl Space for FallAs autumn approaches, Huntsville beckons into a beautiful city of colorful foliage and cool weather. It’s a nice change from the extreme summer heat, although the seasonal change can result in significant damage to your home if you haven’t prepared for the incoming weather. Neglecting your crawl space can lead to higher energy bills, low indoor air quality, wood rot, and moisture issues. Luckily, maintaining the crawl space is simple. In this guide, you’ll learn the tricks to maintain a crawl space that is dry, moisture-free, and protected against damage.

 

How to Prepare Your Crawl Space for Fall and Winter

Preparing your crawl space for fall and winter involves three important steps: drainage system maintenance, waterproofing or vapor barrier installation, and an annual professional inspection that includes the installation of a protective sealant.

 

Drainage System Maintenance

Prepare your crawl space for changing weather first by cleaning the gutters of leaves, dirt, and debris which ensures proper rainwater drainage. Next, ensure the grading around your home’s foundation slopes away from the house to prevent water acclimation around the crawl space.

 

Vapor Barrier Installation and Maintenance

Homes can benefit greatly from vapor barrier installation. This product provides a protective layer around the crawl space that prevents water leaks and drainage. Consider the addition if your home is currently without a vapor barrier.

 

Inspecting the Crawl Space

Additionally, consider a professional inspection of the crawl space. Professionals can find interior problems before they cause considerable damage to your home. Installing a protective sealant like LumberKote in the crawl space can further protect the crawl space.
