couple possibilities here....since you just bought this place you dont have the ability to say "gee everything was fine till i put in the tank"...there is the possibility the house had an issue before you bought it that the flippers covered up....you say no insulation in the crawlspace....does the ground in the crawlspace have a moisture barrier? (sheet plastic covering the entire dirt floor)....is the house balloon framed (nothing blocking crawlspace air from flowing up walls)....are there foundation vents? is the place properly insulated? cause warm humid air will condense on a cold ceiling or wall....when i finished one room in my basement it got mold spots everywhere...i cleaned everything down with bleach and repainted with Zinsser perma white paint (most stores dont carry the paint, only their primer cause they have so many competing brands....you may need to go online)...7 years later no mold...and i had 2 tanks in that room for a year or 2 before i moved....its tintable....have my moms bathroom painted with it....
