RX Waterproofing now offers crawl space encapsulation for homes in Marietta, Georgia. Many homes benefit from crawl space encapsulation especially if the house is prone to moisture problems in the foundation or floor boards above the crawlspace. A crawl space is typically an unfinished and located beneath the first floor of a home that provides access to pipes, ducts, and other utilities.
RX Waterproofing understand the importance of crawl space encapsulation and the installation of a plastic moisture barrier or vapor barrier material over the floor and walls of the crawl space. In addition to the moisture barrier, crawl space encapsulation may involve the installation of insulation, ventilation, and a dehumidifier to control the humidity levels in the space. The owners of RX Waterproofing and Foundation Repair explain how encapsulating a crawl space offers numerous advantages, including: 1. Encapsulation helps prevent mold, mildew, and other allergens from entering the home, helping to improve indoor air quality.
2. Increased energy efficiency: By sealing off the crawl space, homeowners can lessen the amount of air leakage from their home, which can lead to improved energy efficiency and reduced energy bills.
3. Encapsulation protects the home's structural elements, such as wooden beams and supports, from moisture damage.
4. Sealing off the crawl space can also prevent insects and rodents from entering the home.
Crawl space encapsulation contributes to the creation of a healthier, more energy-efficient home by preventing moisture, enhancing air quality, and protecting the home's structural integrity. Call RX Waterproofing and Foundation Repair to schedule a crawl space encapsulation consultation.
