\"Humidity<\/p>\n

Step out of a hot Wilmington afternoon and walk down into a basement, and that first wave of cooler air can feel pretty good. Nothing about it immediately screams moisture problem. Then we pick up a cardboard storage box and the bottom feels softer than the sides, or run a hand across a metal shelf and find it cool and clammy.<\/span><\/p>\n

That’s when the basement starts telling us something the temperature didn’t. Crawl Space Ninja<\/a> wants to know how much moisture is actually in the air, whether conditions change as we move through the space, and what stored materials and cool surfaces are showing us. If your Wilmington basement stays musty or clammy despite feeling cool, contact us online to schedule an inspection.<\/span><\/p>\n
