Wet/Moldy Crawl Space?

Too often, the crawl space is considered an after thought to homeowners. The fact is, however, air circulating through the crawl space can have a lasting impact on the overall air quality of your entire home. Leaving a dirty, wet and moldy crawl space unattended not only is a waste of potential storage space, but may have an effect on the health of your family. Sealing and insulating the crawl space provides a clean and usable area, protecting your family from radon gas, toxic mold, unwanted pests and harmful airborne allergens.

LeakFrog is the small water alarm with a big job. Behind the cute smile is a brain that knows when you have a water problem. LeakFrog sits patiently day and night - ready to sound its alarm at the first sign of a leak. Benefits: Water causes more damage annually than smoke, and the mold that occurs after a water leak can be deadly. - 40% of all property damage is caused by water - 70% of toxic mold is caused by water leaks and plumbing failures - 1 of 3 insurance claims is for water damage If you have smoke alarms in your home, you need LeakFrog too. Simply place LeakFrog in the areas where leaks or water over-flow might occur. In as little as 1/32 inch of water, LeakFrog sets off its alarm to alert you. If no one is home, the alarm will continue to sound for hours until you return. LeakFrog can detect water leaks from any water source: - Crawl Spaces - Basements - Toilets - Tubs - Sinks - Dishwashers - Refrigerators - A/C Drip Pans - Wet Bars - Hot Tubs - Washing Machines

If in question or there is any doubt DO NOT CLOSE AIR VENTS!!!
