Charlotte home inspector Preston Sandlin has been in over 20000 crawl spaces. He has seen a lot in his over 15 years of being a home inspector in Charlotte NC. He has seen damage to crawl spaces and crazy repairs. By far the most damage done to crawl spaces is done by water and termites. Termites come from the ground and have to return to the ground for moisture. There are several ways or attempts to stop termites. Some work and some don't. On theing that they used to use back in the 1950's and 1960's is the termite sheild. The termite sheild was this sheet metal sheild that went over the top of the foundation. It was thought that the termites tunneling up from the ground would hit the sheild and then stop. It was a nice idea but it didn't work. Termite will either find the seam or just tunnel around the sheild like they did in this picture here.
