Crawl Space Encapsulation

Humidity enters the crawl space through the vents during summer, while frigid air enters during the winter. These forces combine to from a continuous drain on your utility bills as well as causing moisture damage to the structure under your home. Additionally all types of insects and pests can enter your home through them as well.

All these problems can be mitigated by using a three-prong attack. By installing a simple crawl space vapor barrier, airtight crawl space vent covers and doors, and a crawl space dehumidifier you can virtually eliminate the problems that have plagued crawl spaces since the day they were first installed.

If your crawl space has experienced flooding that problem must be addressed before any permanent solution can be made. By installing a crawl space sump pump along with a drainage swale that will direct all water to it is the best way to deal with groundwater flooding in South Dakota, Wyoming or Nebraska and the surrounding areas.

Plumbing failures can also introduce water into a crawl space. Since homeowners don’t enter their crawl spaces on a regular basis plumbing leaks have been know to go unnoticed for extended periods of time. Since you don’t want water from a plumbing leak flooding your newly dry crawl space be sure to fix all leaks before the crawl space repair is begun and plan checks every quarter, just to be sure.
