An often-overlooked area that requires more attention than you think is your crawl space. Moisture, pests, and poor ventilation can wreak havoc if your crawl space is not properly managed. Fortunately, there are several crawlspace solutions that Florida homeowners can utilize to keep their homes safe, dry, and healthy! Let’s explore these solutions and how they can have a benefit on your home.
CrawlSpace Solutions For Homeowners
CrawlSpace Encapsulation
Encapsulation is a process that seals your crawlspace to prevent moisture from entering. It involves installing a moisture barrier, or vapor barrier, on the floor and walls of the crawlspace. This barrier effectively keeps moisture out, preventing issues like fungus, mildew, and other moisture-related problems. Additionally, encapsulation helps deter pests by eliminating their sources of food and water, creating a healthier and more secure environment beneath your home.
CrawlSpace Seal
CrawlSpace Seal is a solution that is applied to the wooden structures of your crawlspace, including floor joists and beams. This solution works to create a protective barrier against excessive moisture and the dangers it brings like pests, wood rot, mold, and fungus. CrawlSpace seal is a safe and environmentally friendly way to protect your home without using harmful chemicals. This service can be a standalone treatment or for additional protection, can be paired with CrawlSpace encapsulation services.
With encapsulation and CrawlSpace Seal services, along with regular maintenance and inspections, you can continue to keep your crawlspace in good condition to protect your home from moisture issues and unwanted pests! Call a pest control company near you to get started with a free inspection.
