Is Encapsulation Of Crawl Space Necessary?

Do you have vents in your crawl space? If your crawl space is currently ventilated, you’ll need to put a crawl space vent cover on each of those vents. In the past, many people thought that the best way to prevent crawl space dampness was to “air a crawl space out.” However, modern experts think that because of the math involved with relative humidity, the venting procedure makes it easier for additional moisture to accumulate in the crawl area.

Due to their design, crawl spaces are vulnerable to harm. No homeowner wants to deal with problems brought on by a lack of airflow and a damp, dark environment. Water in the soil beneath the flooring can permeate even crawl areas without dirt or gravel floors. Our system will turn this region beneath your home from unclean and wet to a clean, dry, usable location if it is damp, musty, and humid. 

• Mold growth
• Musty smells
• Dry rot-related floor joist weakness
• Insect invasion
• Higher energy costs because of high humidity
• Above the crawl space, sinking flooring
• Flooding in crawl spaces

A quick and straightforward solution to stop these issues from happening is to hire a crawl space encapsulation contractor in Raleigh, NC. Atlantic Foundation and Repair will put in an encapsulation system producing a dry, healthy environment that will help in preventing problems. 

Why Is Crawl Space Encapsulation Beneficial For Making Your Property Stronger?

There are enough obligations with property ownership. Encapsulation is a simple technique to maintain your crawl space without work, so keeping it doesn’t have to be one of them. You don’t need to worry about it because it keeps your crawl space dry and tidy.

• Savings On Energy

By managing the temperature and air quality inside, you may simultaneously use less energy to heat and cool your home, especially during the busiest seasons. This results in energy savings and conservation, significantly lowering monthly power expenditures. 

• Minimization Of Soft, Separating, Or Moist Floors.

Years of accumulated moisture creeping up wooden structural components into the crawl space causes dampness, decay, and mushy or splitting floors. These problems disappear if it’s clean, dry, and safeguarded (and presuming your home is adequately sealed and insulated). 

• Improves Indoor Air Quality

According to the EPA, “a growing body of scientific research has revealed that the air inside homes and other structures may be more significantly polluted than the air outside, even in the largest and most industrialized cities. Your household will access cleaner, healthier air if your home’s IAQ is improved. This is especially crucial for people with severe allergies or who are prone to respiratory diseases. 

• Prevention Of Fungi, Mold, And Mildew

Mold, mildew, and fungus flourish in the optimum conditions produced by the same dampness and rot we discussed earlier. These colonies not only damage the structural elements of your home but can also spread mold or fungal colonies throughout your house, causing allergies and other serious respiratory problems. 

• No More Window Condensation

Window condensation is a warning indication, indicating with certainty that a house has moisture issues. While single-pane or old-fashioned windows may be a concern, condensation suggests a difficulty with humidity regulation. Controlling internal humidity and temperature is significantly improved by enclosing the crawl space with a high-quality moisture barrier. Your windows’ condensation should be substantially reduced or eliminated as a result. Inquire with a crawl space encapsulation contractor about installing a whole-home dehumidifier as well. 

• A Place That Pests Find Less Appealing

Insecure areas like your attic and crawl space are ideal for pest harborage. Pest entry is complex, and potential hiding places are removed by cleaning and encapsulating the attic. Since no draught or extra moisture enters your home from the crawl space, the inside temperature is more comfortable. Additionally, it keeps termites and other pests that love wood from accessing the structural elements of your home’s foundation.
