What we find under Taylor homes
South Houston County gets the full force of Gulf moisture in summer. Even newer homes on crawl spaces can trap damp air if the vents are open and the vapor barrier is thin. In older homes, we often find no vapor barrier at all, rusted duct straps, and insulation lying on the dirt.
- A musty or earthy odor indoors
- High indoor humidity even with the AC running
- Floors that creak, bounce or slope
- Cupping in hardwood floors
- Pests or termite damage under the house
