Crawl Space Encapsulation

Many people are unaware of how important it is to make sure that their crawl space is well looked after, clean, and kept dry. Up to almost 50% of the air, we breathe in our homes comes from the crawl space and this is why it is vital that you do the necessary to ensure that the crawl space is free from moisture. To ensure that your home is protected against mold that occurs from moisture, you may want to consider having the crawl space encapsulated. This is one of the most common services that we provide to our new and existing clients and provide a number of benefits.

Improved air quality 

The first reason that you should consider having your crawl space encapsulated is that it will improve the quality of air within your home. The encapsulation promotes cleaner airflow, which means that the air your family breathes, is healthy air. Crawl spaces that are unsealed are a breeding ground for moisture, which will result in poor air quality within your home. In order to eliminate humid air circulating within your home, make sure to get in contact with us for us to provide your home's crawl space with encapsulation.

Prevents mold issues 

When a crawl space is not sealed, a lot of moisture can develop, and in turn, mold is formed which is extremely damaging to your home. Without the necessary protection, your crawl space can develop mold and over time, can spread throughout your home, which will end up being extremely costly to repair. If you have not had your crawl space encapsulated, and you are worried that mold has started to develop, make sure to give us a call. We will send one of our crawl space experts to you to assess the damage and see how we can prevent it from worsening. 

Improved energy efficiency 

Another reason why it is highly beneficial for you to have the crawl space within your home encapsulated is that it will improve energy efficiency. When heating or cooling systems do not have to fight the damp air that is developed within the unsealed crawl space, it will require less energy to heat up or cool down your home, creating a much more improved energy-efficient home. Of course, when your home is energy efficient, it means less energy will be used, and therefore lower utility bills.

Prevents structural damage 

In order to ensure that the foundation of your home is protected, it is important to have your crawl space within your home encapsulated. Just like how moisture can damage floors when a crawl space is not sealed, and moisture finds its way into the crawl space, it can jeopardize the integrity of the foundation of your home. The process of encapsulation also keeps out pests such as termites, where without the prevention of such pests, can also cause structural damage.
