Crawl Space Encapsulation

In a building, there is always a crawl space and this refers to an area which is usually left unfinished which can be either under a floor or a roof that is majorly used to allow air circulation throughout the house and also for wiring and plumbing and general repair services in the case that anything is faulty.  Now, over time, that particular space over time tends to accumulate a lot of dirt and also mold (from the moisture) and it has to be dealt with otherwise, apart from compromising the quality of air that comes into the building, it would also make it hard for repair works to be done in that space. Mold is also very harmful to health and should be gotten rid of.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation involves removing the moisture, mold, and dirt from the crawl space in a building and turning it into a clean, dry one devoid of mold. The process involves getting a vapor barrier and a dehumidifier and can be finished within a one-two day timeline. At Foundation Repair Pros of Charlotte, we have a lot of experience with Encapsulating a crawl space as we have done it many times.

The Process

At Foundation Repair Pros of Charlotte, we provide crawl space encapsulation services using only the high-quality materials as this would go a long way in ensuring that the space is indeed moisture-free later in the future. We start the process with the vapor barrier installation and during this process, we line the floors and walls of the crawl space with a vapor barrier and foam which is used to seal any air leaks in the space. A dehumidifier is also used to drive out the excess moisture in the space. At the end of the process, the aim is to have a clean space with proper airflow that is free of mold.
