Signs You Need Crawl Space Encapsulation

When you take a look beneath your house, some of the telltale signs you have some water issues include:

What Crawl Space Encapsulation Entails

Crawl space encapsulation for your Dover home involves vapor barrier installation, which seals the crawl space walls and floor with sheets of heavy-duty plastic, a process that is crucial for mitigating water intrusion in the crawl space. By installing durable vapor barriers in your Dover home, we ensure the protection of wooden floor joists and supports, which significantly reduces the likelihood of wood decay. Our services address the specific challenges faced by homeowners in New Hampshire, ensuring that issues like fungal growth, compromised structural stability, weakened floors and joists, and the risk of pest infestations become a thing of the past.

Other Crawl Space Waterproofing Solutions We Offer in Dover

Depending on the severity of the water problems beneath your home, we might recommend additional solutions to ensure the effectiveness of our crawl space waterproofing services. As a supporting measure, we can install gutters and a drainage system beneath the vapor barriers to channel water away from the crawl space. We can follow this step with the placement of a sump pump, an integral part of our waterproofing services, which efficiently removes and diverts any water that accumulates under the vapor barrier away from your property. Also, we can incorporate dehumidifiers that regulate moisture levels to promote a drier, more comfortable indoor environment and to further protect the condition of your subfloor.
