What is Crawl Space Encapsulation & Does My Home Need It?

Even homeowners that have a crawl space may not fully understand their purpose. If you do not understand why your crawl space is there then chances are that you may not understand how to care for this space. A crawl space is sometimes used in place of a basement to save cost. It also elevates your home off the ground, which is a plus if you live in a damp area or have issues with termites. Sometimes a crawl space allows easy access for inspections and service of plumbing or ductwork systems.

Whatever the reasoning behind your crawl space, there are a lot of problems common to unfinished ones. These issues can actually compromise the integrity of your home. Crawl spaces tend to be humid areas, and humidity can lead to the promotion of mold growth. It can also attract insects that destroy wood. If your crawl space is ventilated it may allow cold air into the area under your home, reducing efficiency and forcing you to use more energy on heating than you otherwise would.

Crawl space encapsulation is a great way to make your crawlspace a safer, healthier part of your home. The purpose of an encapsulation system is to eliminate moisture and reduce humidity in your crawlspace. If you have issues with mold or wood rot you should certainly consider this service. Of course it is also a great preventive measure and adds value to your home.

A liner is installed, reaching up the walls of your crawl space. It also covers the ground. This will prevent water from making its way into your crawl space and causing moisture issues. You may choose to go on to finishing your crawl space, but a high quality encapsulation is a great place to start.

Why Should I Call a Professional for Crawl Space Encapsulation?

There are a number of reasons why only a qualified professional should handle your crawl space encapsulation. A skilled service technician can ensure that the proper materials are used and that the barrier is correctly installed and sealed. Poor workmanship is a major issue with crawl space encapsulation projects. Poor material quality is another. When you work with a trusted professional, though, you won’t have to worry about either of these issues. Keep your crawl space clean and dry with the help of an encapsulation expert.
