Traditional Vented Crawlspace
Why Encapsulate My Crawl Space?
Crawl Spaces are known to be nasty, smelly and full of insects which is why no one wants to crawl around to inspect its condition when a moldy odor demands attention. Eco Mold offers to take on this unpleasant task with a Free, No Commitments, Crawlspace Mold and Moisture Assessment.
Traditional vented Crawl Spaces operate under the assumption that by opening the vents in the summer and closing them in the winter the cross ventilation will push the humid stagnant air outdoors during the summer and conserve energy loss during winter. However, the air in the crawlspace is pulled up through the home to be dispersed through attic vents. Plus, most crawlspaces have inadequate or poorly maintained vapor barrier membranes covering the soil. This allows not only water vapor from the earth but dangerous gasses like Methane and Radon to rise into your home:
Crawl Space encapsulation builds a protective envelop around the home to protect it from water vapor rising from the earth, humidity seeping in from outdoors and seals out insects and rodents. A premium solution to the several nasty moisture induced problems that make home life difficult. Our satisfaction is driven by our clients- We promise to meet or exceed your expectations. |
Crawlspace Pests
Pests looking for food and shelter are drawn to moist Crawl Space conditions. Spiders are merely a nuisance. Others especially termites, rodents and carpenter ants cause massive structural damage. Rodent waste is a health hazard and will render insulation they bed in useless. Remove the excessive moisture and they won’t be tempted to squeeze or chew their way in.

Indoor Air Quality Starts in the Crawl Space
Many times, a person’s respiratory health problems can be traced to a wet Crawl Space which in most cases is also mold infested. Occupants of a home with a Moldy Crawl Space may not even smell mold but still experience multiple symptoms of allergic response symptoms stuffy nose, headache, rash and others they just can’t identify a source.
Air quality studies have shown that 50% or more of the air in our homes rises from the crawl space. This is because as warm air rises in a home to escape through attic vents more air is drawn from the colder crawl space. A Crawl Space contaminated with incalculable Mold spores and perhaps infectious bacteria from the critters living there rises with the air flow polluting the entire home as it moves through. Cleaning and controlling the environment in the crawl space is accomplished by encapsulation, at which point, the largest source of polluted air in the home is removed. Contact Eco Mold Crawl Space Encapsulation for a free Crawl Space Inspection and learn how to regain healthy air.

Cost Worthy Crawl Space Encapsulation
Unlike outside when it rains, the Sun and wind will eventually dry up the moisture. However, in a Crawl Space trapped moisture causes mold, mildew and provide a shelter for pests such as rodents, cockroaches and termites-whom require moist conditions to survive. Rodents with teeth that constantly grow will sharpen them by chewing though cracks in foundation walls to get into the crawl space. Once in they move throughout the home using the wall cavities as a highway throughout the home. Moving through the home they chew on wires, pipes and other building materials- homeowners are often surprised by electrical fires and plumbing leaks started by rodents.
