What Is an Encapsulated Crawl Space?

Pest Guard, Greenville SC

A crawl space encapsulation is the most popular solution for avoiding moisture control issues. This process is most comparable to lining a swimming pool to prevent leaks. To begin the process in encapsulating a crawl space, a heavy-duty polyethylene barrier is used to cover crawl space floors and foundation walls. Then, sealing tape connects the pieces throughout the space and a dehumidifier is put inside the crawl space to regulate moisture levels.

 

 The most common reasons homeowners have crawl spaces encapsulated include:

 

Benefits to Encapsulating Your Crawl Space

  1. Improves Air Quality- encapsulated crawl spaces promote clean air circulation throughout your home, rather than providing resting grounds for moisture. When moisture no longer has a place to stay, humid air is no longer circulated throughout your home.
  2. Eliminates possible insect infestation- insects need water and moisture to survive. Crawl space encapsulations eliminate the possibility for insects to thrive without high moisture levels.
  3. Prevents mildew and mold concerns- Moisture is the root of these two issues. When eliminating the moisture, you eliminate mildew and mold along with it.
  4. Increases energy efficiency within your home- When your HVAC unit no longer has to fight damp air created by a moist crawl space, it requires less energy to function

"In addition to addressing our flea infestation, they came to the house to do our termite bond, a fire ant treatment, and had to come back a couple times to deal with the INSANE flea problems in our newly purchased home. I was hesitant to even contact them again when the fleas persisted after their 30-day guarantee time period because most people would charge again...but Tyler came back even after that period of time to deal with them until they were finally gone! I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again and would highly recommend."
