Many homes have crawl spaces located underneath them, where moisture and humidity are common issues. Due to the damp and humid environment, crawl spaces often face a multitude of problems, such as sagging floors, mold growth, and excess humidity. Your crawl space is host to many important systems that your home needs, including your HVAC ducts. It is extremely important to protect this area from the elements to ensure the safety of your home.
American Eagle Professional Services, Inc. in Annapolis has years of crawl space encapsulation experience and specializes in providing complete protection for your crawl space by installing a crawl space barrier. This system is specifically designed to seal your crawl space and control humidity levels. By applying a combination of products designed specifically for crawl spaces, our foundation repair team in Annapolis provides superior crawl space encapsulation using this proven method.
What Is a Vapor Barrier?
A very important part of the crawl space encapsulation process is the vapor barrier because they are designed to prevent water and moisture from entering the crawl space. Constructed of a high-quality, reinforced resin, our vapor barriers are specifically designed to make crawl spaces completely waterproof and mold-resistant. Our foundation contractors in Annapolis install vapor barriers that provide a complete seal as it is laid along the entire crawl space floor and up the walls.
The vapor barrier is the heart of the system that acts as a protective seal closing off all seams of your crawl space from the outside. Sometimes a water diversion system or sump pump may be installed to control the water that enters your crawl space.
American Eagle uses a Santa Fe Dehumidifier in all of its vapor barrier installations in Annapolis. If you want to remove moisture from the air and prevent mold and mildew from growing, then you need a dehumidifier.
Crawl Space Humidity Control
Once water is no longer an issue, excess humidity needs to be controlled properly. Using a Santa Fe dehumidifier, we can regulate the humidity levels in order to prevent moisture from causing damage to the floor joists. A dehumidifier will be installed to balance the humidity level and will prevent toxic mold growth.
