CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION

You don’t have to put up with a damp, nasty crawl space that smells bad. Those conditions can cause mold to grow and wood to rot, resulting in a structural damage as well as harmful airborne mold spores.

We can help transform your problem crawl space into a clean, dry foundation that’s an asset to your home rather than a liability.

Did you know….

• Vented, dirt-floored crawl spaces are still permitted by building codes in many areas, despite the moisture and mold problems they cause.
• Crawl space encapsulation (sealing) is a the treatment that building scientists recommend to turn a damp, dirty, moldy crawl space into a clean, dry space where mold can’t grow.
• Airborne mold spores and dust mites from damp crawl spaces and basements are among the most common indoor air pollutants and allergens.
• Fiberglass insulation is the incorrect material to use when insulating a crawlspace. It absorbs moisture, loses R-Value, attracts mold, promotes wood rot and falls out of place.

Signs of Crawl Space Problems:

• Mold in the crawl space
• Damp, soft or rotten wood
• Musty odors
• Pests (insects & rodents) in the crawl space
• Crawl space ventilation fans
• Dirty, damp fiberglass insulation
• Damp or wet standing water on crawl space floor
• Water condensing on pipes and other surfaces in the crawl space
• Open crawl space vents
• Rusty metal surfaces in the crawl space.
