Many homeowners do not pay close attention to their crawl space because it is so tucked out of the way. Consequently, this area that is both out of sight and out of mind often suffers from a lack of maintenance. Due to its position beneath the house, the crawl space is prone to becoming extra moist, particularly as the weather gets warmer. With crawl space encapsulation in Georgetown, however, our techs can reduce this harmful humidity.

What Is Crawl Space Encapsulation?
During the spring and summer, humidity levels rise in homes, creating the perfect environment for mold, mildew, and fungi to form. Bacteria also tends to accumulate, contributing to increasingly poor air quality. This atmosphere makes it difficult for household members to breathe and worsens respiratory illnesses and allergy symptoms.
Crawl space encapsulation is an excellent solution for combatting this indoor climate problem. The process involves setting a barrier along the walls, floor, and crawl space ceiling. This buffer seals out any humidity that could contribute to health hazards and weakened structural integrity. Many contractors will also add insulation from materials like spray foam. Such an addition helps thermal resistance while adding an extra barrier. Lastly, it is recommended to have a dehumidifier installed as a final fortification against moisture.
