CRAWL SPACE SOLUTIONS & SERVICES FOR THE HIGH COUNTRY

Most people don’t give a second thought to their crawl space, but at the end of the day, your crawl space is integral to the safety of your home. Dirt crawl spaces can pose special challenges for homeowners if a proper prevention or intervention solution is not pursued. Water seepage and damage, the infestation of rodents and insects, heat loss, the growth of harmful mildew and mold due to increased humidity, and the accumulation of dangerous radon etc. are all possible issues resulting in having a dirt crawl space, but they can be avoided by taking the proper action.


Our High Country Radon Solutions LLC Crawl Space Solution, combined with dehumidification of the crawl space, helps to eliminate musty odors, mold and mildew growth, insect and rodent infestation, radon accumulation, and water seepage, etc. by separating your crawl space from the earth and the natural damages caused by such exposure.

WHAT IS CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION?

Crawl space encapsulation is the process of sealing off your home's crawl space from the outside environment. This is typically done by installing a vapor barrier on the crawl space floor and walls, sealing vents and other openings, and sometimes adding insulation to the walls.

RADON MITIGATION NC

Radon mitigation by crawl space encapsulation is another method to reduce radon levels in a building or home. This method involves completely sealing the crawl space with a durable, air-tight barrier. The goal is to prevent radon gas from entering the home through the crawl space.


The encapsulation process typically involves the following steps:


  • First, any standing water or excess moisture in the crawl space is addressed, as high levels of moisture can lead to mold growth and other issues.


  • A durable, air-tight barrier is installed over the entire crawl space, sealing it off from the outside environment.


  • Any gaps or openings in the foundation walls or floors are sealed to further prevent radon gas from entering.


  • A venting system is installed to ensure adequate air flow in the crawl space, which helps to prevent moisture buildup.


Once the crawl space is encapsulated, a radon mitigation system can be installed to draw air from beneath the crawl space and vent it outside. This system is similar to the sub-slab depressurization method described earlier, but is designed specifically for crawl spaces.


Overall, crawl space encapsulation can be an effective method of radon mitigation, particularly in homes with crawl spaces that are prone to moisture buildup or other issues. However, as with any radon mitigation method, it is important to have the work done by a trained and experienced professional to ensure that it is done correctly and safely. High Country Radon Solutions offers the highest quality crawl space encapsulations and radon mitigation systems in the area!

WHY IS CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION IMPORTANT?

MOISTURE CONTROL

Crawl space encapsulation helps to control moisture levels in your home. Moisture can enter your crawl space through the soil or from the outside environment, and can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and poor indoor air quality. Encapsulation helps to keep moisture out, which in turn can help prevent these issues.

IMPROVED INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Poor indoor air quality can be a major problem for many homes. Moisture, mold, and other contaminants can enter your home through the crawl space, which can lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. By encapsulating your crawl space, you can help improve your home's indoor air quality.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Crawl space encapsulation can also help improve your home's energy efficiency. By sealing off your crawl space, you can help prevent air leaks, which can lead to energy waste and higher utility bills. Additionally, adding insulation to the walls of your crawl space can help to further improve energy efficiency.

STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY

Finally, crawl space encapsulation can help to protect the structural integrity of your home. By controlling moisture levels and preventing mold growth, you can help prevent damage to your home's foundation and other structural components.

HOW IS CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION DONE?

Crawl space encapsulation is typically done by a professional contractor who specializes in this type of work. The process typically involves the following steps:


  • Inspection: The contractor will inspect your crawl space to assess its current condition and determine if any repairs are needed before encapsulation.


  • Cleaning and Preparation: The crawl space will be thoroughly cleaned and prepared for encapsulation. This may include removing debris, sealing off vents and other openings, and repairing any damage to the walls or floor.


  • Installation of Vapor Barrier: A vapor barrier will be installed on the floor and walls of the crawl space. This barrier helps to prevent moisture from entering the space.


  • Insulation: If needed, insulation will be installed on the walls of the crawl space to improve energy efficiency. Our higher quality crawl space encapsulations typically eliminate the need for insulation to achieve energy efficiency.


  • Final Inspection: Once the encapsulation is complete, the contractor will perform a final inspection to ensure that everything has been done correctly.


Crawl space encapsulation is an important step in protecting your home's indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and structural integrity. By controlling moisture levels and preventing mold growth, you can help keep your home healthy and safe.
