Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation is a simple, effective way to seal off your crawl space from outside elements
At Quality Waterproofing, we’re all about making your home healthier and more comfortable, starting from the ground up.
Crawl space encapsulation is a simple, yet super effective way to seal off your crawl space from outside elements like moisture and cold air. In the past, people thought leaving it open would prevent moisture buildup, but now we know that fully sealing it off is the real way to go.
Here’s How We Do It:
We use a tough, high-quality vapor barrier. Think of it as a protective shield. It's made of thick, insulated fabric, wrapped in waterproof polypropylene. This barrier goes on the walls and floors of your crawl space to block any unwanted moisture from creeping into your home.
A sealed crawl space comes has awesome benefits:
You’ll breathe easier with improved indoor air quality.
Your home will be more energy efficient, which can help lower those utility bills.
No more worrying about frozen pipes.
It adds extra storage space you can actually use.
Say hello to warmer floors in the colder months.
And, you’re extending the life of your home’s foundation!
The process? Easy! First, we clean out the crawl space. Then, we install the vapor barrier on the walls and floor, making sure everything’s sealed up tight. Finally, we add an insulated door to complete the job.
Once we’ve got everything sealed up, we condition the air with a dehumidifier to keep moisture in check and stop mold or other nasties from growing. You’ll notice the difference immediately – a drier, fresher, healthier home for you and your family.
