What Should You Look For?
There are several indications that your crawl space needs to be cleaned out! If you're aware of a water leak that has occurred that may have affected the area or can see the wood has been warped and discolored, that is certainly a sign that something needs to be done. Seeing droppings from animals, or if you know that they've been poking around, also means it'd be safest to get it cleared out.
You may notice the smell of mildew, or a foul odor in general as well thanks to a dirty crawl space. Furthermore, if your energy spending seems to be inexplicably rising, your insulation may have been harmed and therefore air is escaping, again pointing towards needing to be cleaned.
Why Does It Matter?
A dirty crawl space isn't a case of “out of sight, out of mind”! Just because you can't see the damage doesn't mean it isn't affecting your household. Animals that have made themselves at home can not only be damaging insulation to use for nests or the vapor barrier keeping out moisture, but their waste can draw in insects as well as spread disease. These viruses can get into your home in various ways, including the air rising up in the summer months.
If water has gotten in your insulation will be useless, and on top of that it's highly likely that mold is spreading and eating away at wood and other components of your home and will weaken them. The water can also corrode and rust pipes as well.
