Crawl Space Waterproofing

Crawl spaces that have tight and limited space can often cause more complications in a home than a standard basement, and that is typically when you need crawl space waterproofing done. Typically with dirt floors, and with mostly stone foundation, crawl spaces are the perfect gateway into the home for moisture, humidity and radon. Crawl space encapsulation is a process that should be in any basement health experts’ knowledge base. By encapsulation, you control direct flooding from reaching floorboards and support beams, limit the transfer tof humidity from the crawl space to the rest of the home, and give radon mitigation systems a fighting chance at doing the job they were designed for (if one is needed).

Crawl spaces can be usable space for storage, utility and made safe for insulation for the floor. Encapsulation can support energy conservation by providing safe installation of insulation; by limiting it’s contact with moisture, and by controlling the passage of air through the foundation walls. Low permeability vapor barrier in conjunction with the sealed Grate Drain system protects the basement wall against contributing extra moisture to the basement.
