Many families wake up feeling congested, deal with constant allergies at home, or notice their children coughing during the night. Some people experience frequent headaches. Others feel fatigue or breathing symptoms that seem worse when they are indoors.

As an Arkansan, you are used to the rain. Whether it is a brief mist or a flood, rain is less of a surprise and more of a constant. What may shock you is how much it can affect your home. Crawl spaces, the small areas underneath the home, are particularly vulnerable to the elements, especially rainwater.

Have you ever thought about what's underneath your feet? If you are a homeowner in Arkansas, the answer is most likely a crawl space. Sadly, most people don't really think about this important part of their home. After all, it's dark, dirty, a little damp, and maybe even hides some spiders and some creepy crawlers.

Fall is the season of change, but with its arrival, some uninvited guests may also appear in your home. If you ever wondered why your home suddenly became a magnet for spiders, roaches, and mice, you are not alone. The answer may come from that one overlooked part of your home: your crawl space.
