These photos show the condition of a crawlspace under a bungalow with poor ventilation. Standing water on the ground and high humidity levels have led to rotting logs and floor joists. Excess moisture in crawlspaces can cause structural deterioration and long-term damage if not corrected.
Recommended improvements include removing all debris, installing a ground vapor barrier, and repairing or reinforcing affected structural members. Addressing ventilation and moisture control early helps protect the home’s structure and indoor air quality.
During a professional home inspection, crawlspaces are evaluated for moisture, ventilation, and structural concerns to help homeowners identify problems before they become costly repairs.
