CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION

If you have a pier and beam foundation the crawl space is where your home can develop major moisture problems that can lead to air quality issues, insect damage, wood rot, swelling of doors and windows inside the home, and even health-threatening mold and mildew. Inadequate ventilation and water penetration from improper drainage are the 2 leading issues we see when inspection foundations in the Dallas and Fort Worth area. Adding crawl space vents will usually solve a ventilation issue and we offer numerous venting solutions including the installation of humidity controlled electric vents and fans. If water is penetrating under the foundation or is traveling underground due to the grade encapsulating the crawl space is a good solution to keep the moisture out of the crawl space. A heavy vinyl liner or vapor barrier is installed over the dirt and all piers are wrapped and sealed off. The air infiltration points are sealed and wrapped to prevent air infiltration. A dehumidifier is installed to keep the humidity at the desired level. If water is traveling under the perimeter beam a drain can be installed to capture the water and carry the water away from the crawl space. In extreme cases we recommend installing drainage matting below the vapor barrier.  This allows water to travel under the barrier in extreme weather.  We use Grizzly Products for our vapor barrier installations and commercial grade dehumidifiers.
