Dirt Crawl Spaces Allow Moisture In
Dirt floor crawl spaces don't really do anything except cause problems. A dirt floor means the crawl space is exposed to the outside elements and this allows moisture inside. Moisture means wet and wet means rotting wood and the growth of mold which is a serious issue.
Mold Loves Organic Materials
Almost all homes are built with organic materials, which means once living. Mold will begin to grow and no one wants mold invading their home. It can cause health issues such as asthma and it also doesn't have a pleasant smell.
Tarps that Don't Encapsulate do More Harm than Good
It's often common in homes we find that people put down their own tarps over dirt floors which is not the best idea. Since these tarps don't encapsulate the entire basement, moisture can still get in and create puddles of water on top of these tarps.
Sagging Floors are not Something to Take Lightly
These floors were starting to sag/weaken and so the home owner tried to correct it by making their own system to keep it from continuing. Over time though the floors will continue to sag and something will need to be done.
