Don’t get caught with a crawlspace that isn’t ready for the spring. Spring is here, and it’s time to start getting your home ready for the season. Tasks like raking leaves and trimming hedges take priority for most homeowners since they beautify the outside. Completing such tasks feels good, although the crawlspace also needs attention. Prepare your crawlspace for the upcoming spring season using the tips below.
Clean Out the Crawlspace
The cold months between winter and spring can leave your crawlspace with unwanted debris like sticks, leaves, and other items that have inadvertently made their way inside. Remove those items as you begin the crawlspace preparation process.
Check For Moisture
Crawlspace moisture can lead to poor energy efficiency in the home, along with issues such as poor indoor air quality and pests. Check the crawlspace for moisture and take measures to treat it to prevent future problems.
Inspect For Pests
Pests can be a nuisance in crawlspaces, although eventually, the tiny critters make their way into the home. Inspect the crawlspace for signs of pests and rectify those issues.
Make Repairs
Repair foundation cracks and other similar damage visible from the crawlspace to prevent further problems. Find issues during a crawlspace inspection and address them quickly.
Install Vapor Barriers
Vapor barriers keep out moisture and prevent mold, mildew, and other related problems from costing you time, money, and headaches. Choose a high-quality product designed for crawlspaces.
