Crawl space encapsulation is a great way to eliminate moisture, pests, mildew and mold that can cause problems throughout the home. It also helps to improve indoor air quality and reduces the cost of heating and cooling. It is not uncommon to see significant energy savings in your monthly bills after crawlspace encapsulation is done.Find out :bryarssprayfoam.com

Crawlspace encapsulation involves covering the dirt floor and walls of your crawl space with a plastic vapor barrier to prevent moisture from rising into the living areas above it. It also involves sealing all vents to keep out humid outside air and may involve insulation on the crawl space walls and ceiling. Dehumidifiers can also be installed to actively remove moisture in the area.

It is important to note that although this will significantly reduce vapor and moisture in the area, it does not stop water leaks from the ground up through foundation walls or floor joists. These issues can still occur and must be addressed, or else mold and structural damage will result.

Mold:

The mold that can grow in crawl spaces is very dangerous to your health and can spread to the rest of your house. Encapsulation will drastically reduce the chance of mold infesting the living areas above it. It will also make the area much less appealing to mice, ants, and other critters that want to invade your home.
