Crawl Space Encapsulation Services & Repair

Encapsulating your basement is the best solution in containing moisture in your crawl space by reducing your home’s humidity problem. Most companies say it’s best to “encapsulate” the entire crawl space, not necessarily true. Quality air ALWAYS good airflow circulation, and this is why homes are built with vents so the air in your crawlspace is ventilated. Here in the Chicagoland area is especially important because our seasons can have days where relative humidity is 100%. The perfect recipe for mole spores to turn into mold and mildew. The best way to solve a humidity problem in the sweltering summer heat is using a basic dehumidifier from your local home improvement store, along with a vapor barrier covering the ground and up to the foundation walls only. Allow your vents to circulate the air in your crawlspace promoting good air flow. This is how all homes are designed to work because when they are built code requires vents in crawl spaces. This also prevents wooden joist or beams from rotting causing damage to your structure due to moisture. We are not only a basement waterproofing company but a structural repair company too.
