In this photo, you can see where one of the rotting joists has cracked. If you were walking over this spot, you would probably hear that loud, haunted house creaking that wakes the baby when you're on your way to the bathroom, or alerts your spouse that you're going for a midnight snack, even though you're supposed to be counting calories. Cracks like this are more than irritating, they are your home's cry for help. Mold, mildew, critters, and rot are creating a pickle of a problem in your crawlspace and your home needs help.
