Will the continued rain affect your crawl space on the Delmarva peninsula?

With rain occurring for multiple days consecutively, homeowners may find standing water in their crawl spaces on the Delmarva peninsula. When it rains the water is absorbed into the ground.  With a lot of crawl spaces being made with porous concrete block, water can easily make it's way from underground to under your home. Once inside your crawl space the water will lay dormant until temperatures begin to heat up outside.  When the temperature rises, it begins to evaporate the water.  In this state the water travels upward toward the floor of the home absorbing into the existing insulation and wood structure of the home.  

This issue can cause microbial growth to any organic part of the crawl space that has moisture on or in it.  It can also cause odors and rot, not to mention that pests LOVE the dark damp condition these crawl spaces are in which can cause a whole new set of issues for the homeowner.
