Whether you're looking at crawlspace encapsulation because you have standing water under your home, have heard how it can reduce heating and cooling costs, or are concerned about negative effects of poor air quality, encapsulating your crawlspace will definitely increase your home's value. When you encapsulate your crawlspace, you are keeping out moisture which can help to prevent mold, wood rot, fungal growth and structural damage over time. On top of that, high levels of humidity can also lead to more pests invading your home. Encapsulation adds a protective layer against termites, which is always a good thing!

If your driveway typically washes out or your lawn is extra soggy, it may be time to think about installing a French drain. Drainage issues are more than a wet lawn or a driveway full of puddles, the bigger problem has to do with how your basement or crawlspace is handling the overflow. During a heavy rainstorm, water can accumulate around the foundation of the home and eventually seep into the basement because it doesn't have a drainage path. However, installing a French drain around the foundation helps to pull water away from the home and into the hollow drainage pipe.

These pests often find their way into homes through wood that touches the ground or by constructing mud tubes from the ground to the wood they infest. This helps them reach food sources and protect themselves from open air. Cracks in concrete walls or foundations of homes also make easy paths for these insects to follow and infest your home. Subterranean termites work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using their toothed jaws to bite off small fragments of wood one piece at a time. Over time, these termites cause critical damage to your home when essentially taking away small parts of wood from the structure of your home or any building.

First, you might be wondering: "How does water get in my crawl space?" The most common reasons you or someone inspecting your home might find water in the crawl space are:
PestGuard Solutions Has Installed Vapor Barriers for Customers Throughout the Upstate
The crawl space beneath your home is a dirt floor that is generally damp and filled with moisture. Moisture from the damp dirt floor evaporates and seeps into the air and insulation of your home. Your crawl space works as a sponge and will over time soak up moisture from the ground. While your crawl space sucks up moisture from the ground, your home is also sucking up moisture from the crawl space. This can lead to various home and pest control problems, including mold and fungi growth, damaged wood and foundations, pest control infestations and costly repairs.
