If your home’s crawl space insulation has worn down or the house is old enough to have vents around it, gaps and cracks can leave the area vulnerable to moisture. Older homes are more likely to have structural issues, but what many homeowners don’t realize is just how big of a dilemma it can become when water gets involved.
A moisture problem is a serious problem to have – over time, unchecked dampness will start to grow mold or mildew. This unwanted growth can compromise the stability of your structure while also negatively impacting you and your family’s health.
One of the best ways to prevent mold growth in your crawl space is getting rid of the source of the moisture through encapsulation.
Dependable Home Services provides encapsulation services to stop moisture from seeping through the ground and damaging your crawl space. When you work with us, you can protect your home’s structural integrity.
How Crawl Space Encapsulation Helps Your Home
Insulation does many things for your home. It creates a barrier between the inside and outside world that protects your property from harm due to extreme weather or temperatures.
Encapsulation takes this a step further. When you invest in crawl space encapsulation, you are completely covering the area under your home with a sturdy barrier that prevents the elements from creating vulnerabilities in your foundation.
Encapsulation will:
- Protect against moisture damage
- Prevent mold and mildew growth
- Protect your home’s foundation
- Lower heating and cooling costs
- Eliminate risk of pest infestations
