How Birmingham’s Rainy Climate Affects Your Crawl Space—and What to Do About It

Birmingham is no stranger to rain and humidity. While the lush green landscapes are beautiful, all that moisture can wreak havoc underneath your home—especially in your crawl space.

Here’s how Birmingham’s weather impacts your crawl space and what you can do to fix it:

1. High Humidity Creates the Perfect Environment for Mold

Alabama’s climate means your crawl space is constantly battling damp conditions. That trapped moisture allows mold to grow on wood beams, insulation, and even your home’s subfloor—affecting air quality throughout the house.

3. Moisture Raises Your Energy Bills

Excess moisture makes it harder for your HVAC system to regulate temperature. Encapsulation and proper sealing can make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable.

2. Standing Water Leads to Structural Damage

Without proper drainage, heavy rain can collect under your home. Over time, this can lead to wood rot, pest infestations, and even damage to your foundation supports.

4. Bad Air From Below Enters Your Living Space

Up to 50% of the air you breathe indoors comes from your crawl space. Moist, moldy air can carry allergens, odors, and harmful spores into your home.
