CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION
This process involves using a vinyl reinforced vapor barrier for both the crawl space walls and floor. The vapor barrier installation contains the crawl space environment by separating the interior crawl space walls and floor from exterior moisture. The crawl space is transformed into usable storage space with the extra benefit of a cosmetic refresh. No longer a worrisome unsightly space, rather comfort knowing your homes foundation and environment is no longer at risk.
CRAWL SPACE VENT SEALING
Crawl spaces have small vents in the walls designed to allow outside air to circulate under the living space floor to prevent moisture build up. This “venting” of the crawl space sounds logical but most often it simply provides easy access for moist air to enter the crawl space. Once inside, the heavy moist air gets trapped and creates the perfect environment for mold to grow. Crawl space vents should be sealed to prevent moist air from entering the crawl space. The process of vent sealing is a critical part of crawl space encapsulation and should never be overlooked.
CRAWL SPACE WATERPROOFING
Crawl spaces need waterproofing systems just like basements. Interior below floor drainage systems will prevent water from reaching your crawl space floor and stop flooding. Coupled with encapsulation and our specialized wall services, your crawl space walls will be safe from water. This system requires a sump pump to discharge the water up and out of the crawl space.
INTERIOR ABOVE FLOOR DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
For certain types of crawl space foundations with concrete floors, this system is designed to permanently control water without having to remove the crawl space floor. This system requires a sump pump to discharge the water up and out of the crawl space.
CRAWL SPACE DEHUMIDIFIER
Humidity is water vapor in the air. When elevated levels of moist air get trapped in the crawl space, it is known as high humidity. This interior climate problem needs to be rectified to remove musty odors, stop further damage to building materials, and prevent a favorable environment for mold to reproduce.
We can supply and install a crawl space conditioning unit that outperforms standard dehumidifiers by effortlessly controlling humidity levels without you having to empty buckets of water. The special filters help clean the crawl space air by removing mold spores and other airborne contaminates, thereby restoring and safeguarding the crawl space environment.
