The encapsulation process is very thorough. It will tackle any potential issue your crawl space might face to ensure complete protection.
Sump Pumps and Vapor Barriers
If enough humidity builds up within the crawl space, then it is possible that it will start to condense into liquid drops. When this happens, it is very easy for your crawl space to flood from within. This is why it is important to install a sump pump in your crawl space. Coupled with an interior drainage system, these pumps can collect any moisture that forms and redirect it far from your crawl space.
Vapor barriers are another great part of the encapsulation process. This thick barrier can prevent moisture from infiltrating your crawl space from any angle. You do not have to worry about any humidity being able to seep through, either. The barrier itself is also covered in an antimicrobial additive that discourages mold and mildew growth.
Vent Covers and Dehumidifiers
Much like the vapor barrier, our vent covers can protect your crawl space from any outside threats. Of course, rather than cover the inside of your crawl space, these covers will be securely attached to any open vents you might have. By sealing up these vents, your crawl space will no longer face any humidity issues whatsoever.
Before we completely seal off your crawl space, however, our experts will install a dehumidifier first. This dehumidifier will ensure that if any humidity does slip through, it will be quickly filtered out. It will also keep the stagnant air inside the sealed crawl space nice and fresh as well.
