Floors over crawl spaces and basements, without vapor barriers or with dirt floors, are mold-prone. The "doormat test" detects moisture from concrete slabs without a sub-slab vapor barrier. Some materials, such as polished concrete, do not support mold growth. Significant mold growth requires moisture and food sources and a substrate capable of sustaining growth.

Equipment used in mold remediation includes: moisture meter: measures drying of damaged materials; Humidity gauge: often paired with a thermometer; borescope: Camera at the end of a flexible snake, illuminating potential mold problems inside walls, ceilings and crawl spaces; digital camera: Documents findings during assessment; personal protective equipment (PPE): Respirators, gloves, impervious suit, and eye protection; thermographic camera: Infrared thermal- imaging cameras identify secondary moisture sources.

American cockroaches generally live in moist areas but can survive in dry areas if they have access to water. They prefer high temperatures around and do not tolerate low temperatures. These cockroaches are common in basements, crawl spaces, cracks and crevices of porches, foundations, and walkways adjacent to buildings. In residential areas outside the tropics, these cockroaches live in basements and sewers and may move outdoors into yards during warm weather.

The basement contains a number of spaces, used principally for storage, including a wine cellar and an interior connection to the dairy under the front stairs. There are crawl spaces under the wings, with impressive brick arches. A three-by-one-bay secondary structure, or dependency, stands to the east of the east wing. The 2-story stucco-covered brick building was used as a kitchen, with single spaces on each level.

Pinkard & Bowden has been compared to Homer & Jethro, a country duo popular from the 1940s through the 1960s, whose act also comprised a mix of parody and original songs. Unlike Homer & Jethro, Pinkard & Bowden's material was often profane in nature; Pinkard & Bowden was the first country comedy act to have explicit content warnings on its albums, and the duo was banned from appearing on The Nashville Network (now Paramount Network). Pinkard & Bowden's parodies are sometimes topical in nature, such as "Friends in Crawl Spaces", a parody of Garth Brooks's "Friends in Low Places" which referenced serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer.

She spent her teenage summers working for her father's plumbing business, Linton & Daughters, and as a result is still an accomplished plumber. She could have gone into the family business but a fear of spider-ridden crawl spaces and the desire for challenge took her off to school amid the bright lights and big city excitement of Atlanta. Sara attended Emory University on scholarship and obtained her medical degree, and also ran track. After college, she served her medical internship at Grady Hospital in Atlanta, one of the largest hospitals in the world, then became a pediatric resident there.

A typical crawl space showing crawl space vents and concrete rat-proofing. Rat-proofing is a thin, irregular concrete covering applied over the soil to prevent rodents from burrowing under the foundation wall and entering the crawl space. An underground crawl space (as the name implies) is a type of basement in which one cannot stand up—the height may be as little as one foot (30 cm), and the surface is often soil. Crawl spaces offer a convenient access to pipes, substructures and a variety of other areas that may be difficult or expensive to access otherwise.

The school has a main gymnasium and stage on the main floor, a well-equipped fitness room and a smaller gymnasium below. There is a lunch/kitchen area there as well, and during the lunch hours, the entire lower concourse, gym, and lunchroom provide space for up to 550 students who stay for lunch. The school is famous for its "earthworm," an indoor track facility built by removing earthfill in the crawl spaces below the main building. The initiative was begun in 1960 with the leadership of R.B. Wilberg, physical education instructor and E.M. Borgal, the principal.

Dr. Ring had a house, a barn and a water tank house on the property prior to the construction of the mansion which were moved to the Francis addition by John Morris house movers in April, 1899. The Ring Mansion was unusually well-built, even for its time, from the concrete foundation up to crawl spaces between floors. Built, as were many Ferndale residences, from redwood, the Gingerbread Mansion also has double wall construction and square support members. Ring's builders created a turreted, balconied, gabled and crested Victorian Gothic with Queen Anne influences in the spindles and turnings which cover the Berding Street facade and continue partway down Brown Street.

Tamper- resistant GFCI duplex receptacle type 5-20RA, which can take 5-15 and 5-20 grounded plugs and 1-15 ungrounded plugs These versions of the 5-15R or 5-20R receptacle are residual-current devices and have Test and Reset buttons (and sometimes an indicator light which may be normally on or normally off per the vendor's design). In the US and Canada, GFCI protection is required for receptacles in many potentially wet locations, including outside outlets, bathrooms, some places in kitchens, basements, and crawl spaces. This is an expedient way to provide that protection at the receptacle itself. They work by comparing the current flowing between the live and neutral conductors, and disconnect the circuit if the difference exceeds 4-6 milliamperes.

A Leviton GFCI "Decora" socket in a North American kitchen. Local electrical code requires tamper-resistant socket in homes, and requires a GFCI for socket within 1 metre of a sink. The T-slot indicates this device is rated 20 A and can take either a NEMA 5-15 or a NEMA 5-20 plug, though the latter type is rare on household appliances. In North America socket-outlets located in places where an easy path to ground exists—such as wet areas and rooms with uncovered concrete floors—must be protected by a GFCI. The US National Electrical Code has required devices in certain locations to be protected by GFCIs since the 1960s. Beginning with underwater swimming pool lights (1968) successive editions of the code have expanded the areas where GFCIs are required to include: construction sites (1974), bathrooms and outdoor areas (1975), garages (1978), areas near hot tubs or spas (1981), hotel bathrooms (1984), kitchen counter sockets (1987), crawl spaces and unfinished basements (1990), near wet bar sinks (1993), near laundry sinks (2005) and in laundry rooms (2014).
