Crawl Space Encapsulation
Eliminate Musty Odors and Improve Your Crawl Space
Many crawl spaces are in desperate need of repair. By encapsulating your crawl space, you can not only eliminate musty odors but also make your floors warmer and lower your energy costs.
What is Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Crawl space encapsulation is a way to protect the crawl space under your home from moisture, mold, and pests. It uses a strong plastic barrier that covers the entire floor, walls, and sometimes the ceiling. This seals the space, helping to keep out damp air and improve the air quality in your home. It also makes your heating and cooling systems work better, which can save you money on energy. This process helps keep your crawl space dry, clean, and safe for the house.
Common Crawl Space Problems You Should Fix
Unmanaged Moisture
Most crawl spaces suffer from unmanaged moisture. Vented crawl spaces allow humidity inside, making the area cold, damp, and difficult to keep dry.
Mold & Mildew Growth
Excess moisture leads to mold and mildew growth, mixing dirty air with the conditioned air in your home.
Pest Infestation
Crawl spaces often become home to mice and other pests. They use fiberglass batts as nesting material and enter easily through open vents.
Air Leakage
Vented crawl spaces experience air leakage, letting in cold air. This causes drafts through convective heat transfer, pulling dirty air into your living space and reducing comfort.
