Crawlspace Encapsulation
The Purpose of Crawlspace Encapsulation
Maintaining a crawlspace benefits the entire structure of your home. Rainwater, varying temperatures, and humidity are challenging factors in maintaining a crawlspace. When keeping moisture and humidity out of your home in Pensacola or Mobile via crawlspace encapsulation, you reduce the chances of wood rot, mold growth, structural defects, and insect infestation.
Install a Crawlspace Encapsulation
If your home is experiencing any of the following, you may need to consider installing a crawlspace encapsulation.
Moisture
Whether it's damp soil or standing water underneath your house in Pensacola or Mobile, crawlspace encapsulation helps prevent moisture from entering your home.
Mold or Mildew
If a crawlspace is not properly encapsulated, both can grow on the floor joist or sub-floor, and are detectable by a musty odor.
Sagging Floor
Excess moisture makes your floor joists elastic, which causes your floors to sag. Crawlspace encapsulation can save your floors.
Cupping Floors
Without proper crawlspace encapsulation, high moisture levels can penetrate the sub-floor, and cause the cupping of hardwood floors.
Home Air Quality
Contaminated air is pulled inside by your HVAC system. Crawlspace encapsulation seals this intrusion helping you breathe easy.
Insects
Bugs, like termites, are attracted to dark, moist places. Crawlspace encapsulation blocks egress and dries the ground.
Benefits of a Crawlspace Encapsulation
Providing cleaner and healthier air for your entire family reduces energy costs!
Cleaner Air
Breathe easy knowing that crawlspace encapsulation lowers the moisture level in your home, reducing mold, mildew, and polluted air.
No More Insects
Crawlspace encapsulation creates an environment that is not pleasing to insects and prevents their entry through the sub-floor.
Increased Comfort
Crawlspace encapsulation removes moisture from the air, thus creating a much more comfortable living space.
Lower Power Bill
A crawlspace encapsulation can reduce your power bill up to 20%, and increase the longevity of your A/C system.
Selling Appeal
A crawlspace encapsulation can be a great selling point to a buyer when compared to homes that do not have one.
