Here where I live in central IN, we have gotten at least 8 inches of rain in the last 10 days. My house is a trilevel, half slab and half crawl space. I opened up the access to the crawl and most of the pea gravel appears damp, but no standing water. There is a sump and pump in the crawl.
My question is: do I need to do something to remediate the dampness or do I just leave it to dry? I suppose while I'm home I could put a box fan at the access (outdoor) to pull air/moisture out while maintaining negative pressure to the house but I don't know if this is necessary. Air temp in crawl is quite cool, I would say definitely cooler than the temp in the house.
Any help would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
