I had $80,000 problem because of humidity in the crawlspace. Many sills and joisting were replaced. The contractor was surprised the condo unit did not cave in! I had mold and mildew problem to take care off. It was not pretty.
The solution to prevent future humidity is to cover the dirt foundation with 7 mil plastic sheeting, open faced floor insulation and added more oversized foundation vents. The vents were thermostatically controlled to close when the temperature falls below 70 degrees.>>
