The next step in the crawl space encapsulation process is to make sure nothing can get in if you don’t want it to. The first way of doing that is to close all your crawl space vents and doors. If you have a home that already has crawl space vents, which describes most homes in […]
The first step for crawl space encapsulation is to remove any standing water you have in the crawl space.

Lastly, especially if you tend to have a very humid home, it’s important to install a dehumidifier.

One important issue associated with unencapsulated crawl spaces that you may never have known about is high electric bills.

When you have pests in your crawl space, mold and mildew growth, and an entrance for air, you’re going to have issues with allergies and respiratory problems in general. However, many people don’t know that this is the case. They just instead assume their allergies and respiratory problems are a part of life, and they […]
Crawl spaces with significant amounts of crawl space moisture are almost always going to end up with mold and mildew.
