Why Basement or Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Basement encapsulation and crawl space encapsulation are the solution if you experience:
  • High humidity levels in your basement
  • Musty odors coming from floors or walls
  • Mold & mildew development
  • Standing water in your basement or crawl space
  • Elevated energy costs

​Humidity or the presence of standing water in your basement or crawl space can quickly become unsafe for your home structure and inhabitants. If not handled properly and immediately, the problems can quickly compound.

​In Pennsylvania, there are plenty of wet basements and moisture present in the crawl spaces. 

Therefore, basement encapsulation can help take care of many different aspects caused by humidity and improve air quality. By handling the moisture, you’ll keep your home energy efficient, safe, and comfortable.

​
Moisture in crawl spaces or basements can cause:

  • Increased heating costs
  • Allergens and airborne bacteria to spread
  • Respiratory health-related issues
  • Musty odors to spread through the house
  • Pest & rodent infestation

The benefits in Southeastern Pennsylvania

Frequently, basements and foundations, especially as they age, can begin to crack. 

These cracks are the perfect avenue for moisture to enter your home and wreak havoc if not addressed.

The main problem is that basements are not considered a ‘main part’ of the home.

​Hence, it can be easily forgotten. 
However, if the air quality of the basement is compromised, it can quickly spread throughout the rest of the home. 
Improve Air Quality
As the moisture levels increase, mold and mildew can begin to grow. This further compromises the integrity of the air quality in the home. These allergens can lead to allergies or worsening preexisting conditions such as Asthma.
Radon Control
If basement encapsulation is not done quickly, radon can seep through the cracks in the foundation. This volatile radioactive gas can be dangerous to you and your family. Radon is colorless and odorless and comes from the ground. It causes lung cancer in large doses.
Energy Efficiency
Beyond health concerns, temperature control can become a huge issue in the basement. Whether heat is entering or cool air is leaving, or vice-versa, your basement should be comfortable. Proper basement encapsulation can be a vital step towards an energy-efficient home. Ultimately, this decreases the cost of temperature management and increases the level of comfort in the home.
Pests & Rodents
Sealed areas act as a barrier against insects and rodents. Hence, the need for pest control decreases. With a controlled humidity level, most insects and rodents will not be attracted to settle in your home or business.
Storage Space
With less environmental moisture, crawl spaces and basements can become areas where you can store safely belongings. Many of our clients, use encapsulated basements as an additional storage area.  ​

Professional Execution Backed by Experience, Know-How & Process

When it comes to basement or crawl space encapsulation, there is little room for error. Our team will eliminate moisture vapor and water in vulnerable spaces.

Importantly, every basement or crawl space encapsulation will be slightly different, as every space is unique. However, the typical process is done in phases:

  • Technical evaluation of the basement or crawl space
  • Emptying and clearing the space to allow for the vapor barrier installation
  • Measurement of space/area that is to be covered and protected
  • Clean up of mold and bacteria build-up
  • Dehumidify or extract water in case of standing water
  • Installation of a dehumidifier or ventilation system (depending on cases)
  • Installation of a vapor barrier polyethylene seal
During the vapor barrier seal installation that is the encapsulation part of the basement or crawl space, the following steps are involved:

  • Sealing tape underfloor joists or nearby support
  • Attaching the vapor barrier along foundation walls or nearby supports to protect from moisture
  • Covering floors and any other visible areas with overlapping vapor barrier sections

Finally, once the basement or crawl space encapsulation is completed, it’s important to maintain the space. This means integrating ways to manage the moisture or humidity in the space.

Typically, this is done by installing dehumidifiers in the space. Our team can walk through the process of maintaining proper humidity levels in the designated area.

Basement and Crawl Space Encapsulation and Dehumidification

Basement and crawl space encapsulation and dehumidification is the first step to a healthy home environment. The air quality in your home is dependent on the conditions found in your basement and crawl space.

The air you breathe in your home circulates from the ground level up to the attic. Your basement and crawl space may therefore influence the air quality throughout your entire home.

Many basement and crawl space foundations leak and many flood. When your basement or crawl space is damp, moldy, or full of water, the excess moisture is released into the air, which in turn is circulated throughout the house by way of normal convection of the homes heating and air conditioning system.

Damp and dirty basements and crawl spaces may be creating unhealthy conditions, which can be hazardous to you and your family's health, and may be contributing to toxins and allergens you breathe. If you are dealing with any of these issues, a simple basement or crawl space encapsulation and dehumidification can improve your home environment.
