Easton, Maryland home with a wet and dirty crawlspace

This home had standing water, very high humidity, and bad smells in the crawlspace. The foundation vents were open and were letting in all the moist air from outside. There was no drainage system or sump pumps to get rid of the ground water. Since neither of those problems were fixed, the mold and mildew was running rampant and spreading smells everywhere. This might seem like a worst case scenario, but it is incredibly common across Delmarva. Most homes with crawlspaces are still unconditioned, or have been done wrong. Once you get the moisture and water under control, things like insects and smells will no longer be a problem. The best thing you can do to fix this is to get a proper encapsulation system complete with a proper dehumidifier.
