Crawl Space access door install in Becket, CT
Challenge
A non-sealed crawl space access door causes humid air to leak causing condensation all over your crawl space.
Since the old thinking was that crawl spaces could have dirt floors and be vented, it was okay for access doors to be loose-fitting and unsealed. Today we know that to have a comfortable, energy-efficient home, free of mold, rot, bugs, and odors we must seal off all air (and water) leaks from the outside. But your old crawl space access door doesn't do that. This results in Warm, humid air leaking during summer, causing condensation all over the crawl space, cold air leaks during the winter causing cold floors above and cooling off heating ducts, and higher fuel, and electric bills.
