Greenbackville, VA Crawl Space

This crawl space in Greenbackville, VA is filled with insulation that is falling apart. There are several reasons why insulation does not stay on the roof of the crawl space. The number one reason is the strong amount of humidity in the crawl space. When the moisture in the air becomes too strong the insulation can not hold all of it and it begins to fall. As you see on the walls of the crawl space, there are white marks on the wall that looks like chalky powder. This white powder is sometimes confused with mold, but it is not alive. Just mineral residue. It is a sign that water is probably coming through the concrete.
