By: U.S. Pest Protection According to Ms. Brister, “Wood destroying fungus destroys more wood in homes than fires and termites combined. Keeping the wood in your home dry and away from moisture is vital to the health and longevity of the structure. The average crawlspace emits 19 gallons of water vapor PER DAY seeping into the structural members of your home, which we can check out for no charge!” Here are some preventative tips for keeping the wood in your home safe from fungus: Keep wood away from direct contact with the soil. Always keep a vapor barrier between the ground and wood. Properly seal your basement and make sure it is waterproof. If the humidity in the basement gets too high, a dehumidifier should be installed. Crawlspaces should be professionally ventilated or encapsulated due to the continuous supply of moisture from the ground. Rain gutters should be regularly cleaned and maintained. Downspout extensions should be used to carry water away from the foundation. Standing water in crawlspaces should be removed and remedial action should be taken to keep it out. Some of the services U.S. Pest offers to protect your home from expensive damages include Moisture Shield, Wood Treatment, Ventilation Systems, and Encapsulation. Wood destroying fungi and termite devastation are not commonly covered under homeowners insurance and is not bias to only old homes. Ms. Brister adds, “There have been many cases of newer homes with this problem that could leave you robbed of a large sum of money or, even worse, homeless.” For more information on how to get your complimentary home inspection, call U.S. Pest at (615) 590-1260.
