The crawl space is often overlooked by homeowners. While the crawl space can provide much needed additional storage, moisture buildup is not an uncommon problem that can make the space unusable. A wet crawl space poses a major inconvenience and nuisance to homeowners. We can put an end to those crawl space problems before they lead to more headaches by installing a crawl space encapsulation system.

Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation

One of the biggest benefits of crawl space encapsulation is the improved air quality you'll experience throughout your home. By eliminating your crawl space problem you'll reduce future issues like costly floor repairs, structural damage, greater energy efficiency, and eliminating the possibility of pests and insects from entering your home, but you ensure the health and safety of your family.

Contact us, your local waterproofing experts, to put an end to your crawl space problems. We guarantee a healthy, dry, and pest-free space using the proven methods listed below.

Sealing the Crawl Space Area

Securing vents and doors in your crawl space is typically a priority one. Humidity and moisture are entering where they shouldn’t. Blocking off these key entrances will allow you to control the climate in your crawl space more easily and ensure no more humidity enters from outside of the home.

How We Deal with Water in Wet Crawl Space

Standing water in a wet crawl space can be evacuated through a sump pump or similar system so you can put other things downstairs – things you don’t want sopping wet. While the leftover water could point to a plumbing problem, it is also a potential sign of a systemic problem with excess moisture that needs treatment.

Enclosing or Encapsulating the Crawl Space

Encapsulation typically entails applying plastic sheeting along all the walls and doors in your crawl space. This vapor barrier will ensure that water vapor stays inside, but also that the area is ready for the next step – conditioning the air in your crawl space.

Improving Crawl Space Air Quality

Some install an exhaust system to pump saturated air outdoors or run air from elsewhere in the house to the crawl space. At the Stealth Foundation, we typically recommend installing a dehumidifier to condition the existing air. This balances out the humidity level so that unnecessary humidity is removed.
