Do you have a damp crawlspace and issues with moisture and possible mold? Is there an odor in the home when you come back to the house or do you suspect that the home may be making you sick? Odor, mold, indoor air quality, pest (ants, roaches, mice) can all be signs of an issue under the home that needs to be addressed.
The decision to convert your home from an air ventilated crawlspace to a closed, sealed or encapsulated crawlspace can be a major change in the long term health of the home and the people in it. There are many other benefits to a clean and dry space including better indoor air quality, dryer conditions to prevent issues with mold, clean conditions that help to prevent pest problems and infestations, lower energy bills, prevention of seasonal cupping in hardwoods and help extend the life of components in the space (HVAC, water heater, plumbing and electrical lines).
One of the more important aspects of converting a crawlspace to an encapsulated space is the affect on indoor air quality. Most people assume that a clean and dry crawlspace means better air quality but the vast majority of encapsulated crawlspaces actually hurt the air quality of the home. Our encapsulation system is the only system in the Triangle that has been proven to improve indoor air quality long term for the home.
