How We Encapsulate Your Crawl Space
Our crawl space encapsulation process is as follows:
Controlling Groundwater Seepage
What We Do
When rain and snow saturate the soil around your home, it can seep into your crawl space and evaporate, increasing moisture and humidity. This is the perfect breeding ground for mold and wood rot to eat away at your foundation. We protect your property by adding a drainage system to your crawl space, which expels the water trying to get in.
What We Use
Changing the Environment
What We Do
We also protect your crawl space from moisture by sealing it with an industrial-grade vapor barrier, changing the environment in this area of your home and keeping it controlled. Our proprietary vapor barriers keep moisture from getting into your home through open crawl space vents, foundation wall gaps, and other entry points.
What We Use
Crawl Space Door Installation
Properly Insulating Your Home
What We Do
An uninsulated crawl space is like leaving your front door open all winter long. Exposing your crawl space and subfloor to the elements can lead to cold floors and high energy bills, especially if your heating system has to work harder to keep your property warm. We solve this problem by installing insulation blocks that resist moisture and mold.
