Encapsulated Crawl Space Service

What Is An Encapsulated Crawl Space?

Many homes lack a properly encapsulated crawl space, due to builders prioritizing time and cost savings, but crawl space repair specialists like Ohio Basement Authority fix this issue with lasting solutions.

Encapsulation is a comprehensive crawl space service that seals the crawl space from outside air and water. It incorporates crawl space waterproofing, sealing, insulation, and dehumidification solutions, creating a protective bubble for the space beneath your living area.

Your crawl space may be out of sight and out of mind, but several problems can develop that jeopardize your home’s safety and your family’s health. Watch for these issues that indicate it may be time to encapsulate your crawl space:

These concerns reveal potential crawl space damage, drainage difficulties, and excessive moisture. A safe and healthy house requires constant attention to detail, and it’s critical to speak with crawl space specialists like Ohio Basement Authority as soon as you see an issue.

What Are The Benefits of An Encapsulated Crawl Space?

Managing excessive moisture with crawl space encapsulation solutions benefits your home and family in many ways, including:

• More Comfortable Living Conditions: Your home won’t feel humid in the summer, and floors won’t be cold in the winter.
• Improved Air Quality: Vented crawl spaces negatively affect the air inside your crawl space and upstairs, but properly sealing the crawl space and conditioning the air lets you breathe easier.
• Greater Energy Efficiency: Homes with a sealed crawl space use an average of 20% less energy, resulting in lower heating, cooling, and electric bills.
• Usable Storage Space: A crawl space sealed with a thick and durable vapor barrier provides a clean, bright storage area without belongings being ruined by moisture, mold, termites, or pests.
• Fewer Pest Problems: An encapsulated crawl space helps create an unattractive environment for pests and wood-destroying insects, making it more difficult for them to get inside.

DIYing crawl space encapsulation with big-box store solutions is dangerous and only offers temporary moisture management. Trust Ohio Basement Authority’s experienced professionals to experience all these advantages and more.

Encapsulated Crawl Space FAQs

Professional services ensure a comprehensive and long-lasting solution. Ohio Basement Authority has the right tools, training, solutions, and protective gear. Contact us to learn more and to schedule a free inspection. 

How much does it cost to seal and encapsulate my crawl space?

During a free crawl space inspection with an Ohio Basement Authority expert, we recommend tailored solutions and provide an accurate cost breakdown in a no-obligation estimate.
