Another problem I commonly encounter in crawlspaces during a home inspection is leaking plumbing fixtures. Here we have damage and fungal growth from a chronic, slow leak in a bathroom fixture. If the leak is left long enough the floor joists and subflooring can deteriorate to the point of localized failure. This kind of damage is also commonly seen under tiled showers, from cracks in grout and improper construction techniques.
All of this shows the value of thorough inspection. Crawlspaces are commonly found throughout Huntsville, Madison, and the surrounding areas and are critical to inspect thoroughly.
