Crawl Space Encapsulation & Moisture Mitigation
in Northern Ohio
Many homes and businesses, especially in our area, are built on crawl space foundations. These spaces allow access to the building’s electrical wiring and plumbing. Different issues can arise in these spaces, which include condensation, water exposure, and mold. These issues can make the environment above the crawl space unsafe and cause foul odors. In some instances, if left untreated, the issues from the crawl space can lead to:
- Water damage or wet crawl spaces, including foundation deterioration and rotting
- Water damage in living areas, including buckled and bowed flooring and trim
- Water damage in the attic, including roof structure rot, shingle damage, and ice damming
- Foul and musty odors in living/working areas
- Mold growth in crawl space, living/working areas, and attic
- Efficiency issues with the HVAC system
- Insulation efficiency issues
- Health issues including fatigue, allergies, and asthma
- Insect and animal infestations
Closed crawl spaces can help prevent these issues. By encapsulating a crawl space, we isolate the ground and exterior from the crawl space area. Once that area is enclosed, we add a humidifier to control the humidity levels. This helps control moisture and temperature, which prevents mold growth and many other issues that can arise inside the crawl space. We can come for a free inspection and estimate to assess the crawlspace and determine what is best for making your crawl space healthy and safe for your building.
