Excessive moisture within a vented, dirt-floored crawl space poses risks of damaging insulation and fostering mold growth.

To counter these issues, heavy-duty moisture barriers were employed during the encapsulation process. This transformation converted the crawl space into a dry, clean, and energy-efficient extension of the house.

Installing Crawl Space Vapor Barrier

Install Airtight Doors & Vent Covers

While sealing your crawl space doors and vents effectively interrupts the cycle of cold air, humidity, and moisture infiltrating from outside, it's important to note that water can still find its way into your crawl space through various avenues.

Remove Any Standing Water Sources

Following the sealing of crawl space doors and vents, the subsequent measure involves eradicating potential sources of flooding by implementing a crawl space drain and sump pump system. While this effectively eliminates flooding water from the crawl space, it's essential to acknowledge that moisture may still permeate directly through the concrete and floor in the form of water vapor.

Repair The Structure

If your crawl space has experienced sagging or damage due to prolonged mold and rot, the subsequent action involves installing crawl space support jacks to aid in the restoration of your structure. This not only helps maintain even floors but also halts any structural sagging upstairs.

Encapsulate & Insulate The Crawl Space

To prevent moisture from permeating through your floors and porous concrete walls, it's crucial to install a crawl space vapor barrier. This durable liner not only facilitates maintenance access without damage but also converts your crawl space into functional storage space. Additionally, this is an opportune moment to incorporate crawl space insulation on your walls or floors. Installing drainage matting underneath the crawl space liner assists in channeling water towards the drainage system and sump pump, ensuring efficient water management.

Install A Dehumidifier

Implementing an energy-efficient, self-draining crawl space dehumidifier is essential for maintaining a dry environment. Our crawl space dehumidifier system features a filter capable of capturing particles from the air as small as 2 microns. This guarantees comprehensive protection against mold, dust mites, and mildew damage, ensuring long-term preservation of your crawl space.
