Common crawl space problems in Enterprise
Enterprise has a mix of older homes near downtown and the Boll Weevil Monument, mid-century neighborhoods, and newer subdivisions built for families tied to Fort Novosel. The older homes often have thin or missing vapor barriers and fiberglass insulation that has fallen onto the ground. Newer homes are not immune either: builder-grade plastic tears during plumbing and HVAC work and is rarely repaired.
- Musty odors that come up through floor registers
- Damp joists and subfloor, especially under bathrooms and kitchens
- Sweating ductwork in summer
