Why Close, Condition or Encapsulate Your Crawl Space?

Closing, conditioning or encapsulation involves installing high-quality protective vapor barriers inside your crawl space that covers the floor and walls. You can think of this like installing a liner to a pool except in reverse. Unlike a pool, we are keeping the water and moisture from entering the liner.

Why is this process so important? An encapsulated crawl space is dry and clean. This means that there is no support to mold growth and potential spreading up through the floor to your kitchen, bedrooms, or living room. Dry and clean also means that there is no moisture to rot away your wood framing or foster wood destroying and nuisance pest infestations.

Adding the right insulation to your perimeter walls in your crawl space means savings too. It will cut heating and cooling costs in your home, making it more energy-efficient, as well as improve the air quality. Remember, experts say nearly 50 percent of the air on the first floor of your home comes from your crawl space, so what kind of air you currently breathing? We can guarantee you, once completed, the air you breath is more fresh and healthy than it ever has been.

And to help regulate moisture and the air you breathe, we can add smart ventilation. Working off the dew point readings at both the interior crawl space and the outdoors, our smart ventilation system knows when to get rid of the bad air inside and when to bring in the good fresh air from the outside. And in some structures it may make sense to incorporate dehumidification and tie it into our smart ventilation system, telling the dehumidifier to run during heat spells when humidity and dewpoint are extremely high for many days in a row.

The vast majority of homes do not have these money-saving crawl space features, so if yours needs help, give us a call. While crawl space encapsulation will fix any damage that has already occurred, it will also prevent future damage and add to the overall value to your home. Invest in this system now, so you won’t have to worry later.

Your crawl space will be clean and moisture-controlled, just like it should be. Next, we’ll share a bit about the steps we take to get you there.

What to Expect from Crawl Space Encapsulation

First, we want to get rid of all the bad stuff in your crawl space and make it cleaner than it was when your home was first built. This means removing any debris and damaged insulation. We will HEPA vacuum all surfaces and wipe all surfaces including pipes, ducts, etc. If mold is present we will remove it and apply a clear protective coating on all structure surfaces. Having a strong, clean base is the foundation to crawl space health and success.

Next, we are ready to seal the space and ensure that it stays this clean. This process includes sealing all vents, holes, and cracks that could be letting in unwanted humidity or moisture. Our team adds foam to the walls, as well as insulation along the perimeter of the floor. A vapor barrier is also added to the crawl space floor and sealed to the foundation, which ensures that no moisture will be able to move around or get into the structure. Everything is now clean and healthy, but the next step is to ensure your crawl space structure members and materials will withstand your local climate’s unique moisture issues.

We help ensure the reliability of your crawl space encapsulation through a variety of controls.

At Fenwick, we help ensure the reliability of your crawl space encapsulation through a variety of controls. Smart ventilation makes sure that good, fresh air comes into space, while any bad air (moist, humid,) is removed. Dehumidification controls humidity during long heat and humidity spells. Both make sure that moisture and condensation can’t possibly form on your crawl space surfaces to ensure your crawl space does not go back to the moldy, damp space it was or would have otherwise become.

2. The Site Visit

No need to go down into the crawl space yourself. Leave it to us and don’t stress. Someone from Fenwick will see for themselves what the issues are, as well as undertake an evaluation of the issues’ causes. We will gather all the information we need and then work with you based on what we find.
