Why crawl spaces in Broadway get damp
Lee County homes around Sanford are often older brick ranches on crawl spaces, where humidity and age have worn down vapor barriers and insulation.
Clay-heavy soil in the area expands when wet and shrinks when dry, which can show up as cracks in block foundations and uneven floors.
In Broadway, the fix usually starts with controlling moisture: a proper vapor barrier, sealed vents and a dehumidifier. Where floors have already sagged or piers have shifted, structural supports are added once the space is dry.
