MOISTURE CONTROL
How does Moisture affect your home?
Did you know 40% – 60% of the air you breathe comes from the basement or crawlspace of your home? The air inside your crawlspace is musty, full of mold spores, mildew, dust mites and bacteria. It contributes to many health risks, unwanted odors and pests that thrive in these conditions.
Moisture creates the perfect environment for termites and other wood destroying organisms. These conditions and pests can break down the integrity, and kill the value of your home. Termites alone account for $5 billion worth of damage annually to residential homes across the United States.
The good news is – Dr. Pest has the solutions to avoid these conditions and the pests that come with them. Don’t take the risk of your health, comfort and the integrity of your home not knowing what’s lurking underneath.

You cannot control an element of nature, however you can control the source that may lead to a problematic condition within your crawlspace .
False. While this myth is partially true; plastic coverings do not resolve excessive moisture problems. It helps control ground moisture coming from the soil, however there is typically more than one source leading to a moisture issue that needs to be corrected.
False. There are many areas within a crawlspace or basement that contribute to excessive moisture. For example: Inadequate ventilation, the soil and foundation cracks are some of the most common places moisture comes from in a crawlspace.
