    Wood in crawlspace- worth treating with a protectant?

    Hey guys, the wood ceiling in our crawlspace is untreated at the moment. Would you guys recommend any type of "treat" or protection to coat the wood with? or is it safe to leave as is? The wood right now is not pressure treated, just natural. btw, the walls are concrete. Thanks in advance.
