New York Emergency Restoration – Crawlspace Encapsulation

Your home’s crawlspace is designed for convenience. It is used to hide plumbing, wiring, and other utilities in order to free up valuable space inside your home. Plumbing, however, is prone to leaking. If a pipe were to burst inside the crawlspace, the moisture accumulation would slowly enter your home from below. Then, mold growth is sure to follow. Our professional crawlspace encapsulation services are guaranteed to reduce the risk of moisture, mold, humidity, and pests from below your feet. Give us a call at (855) 475-2292 to discuss options.

Some common signs that your crawlspace has moisture issues include wood rot, sagging or wet insulation, termite damage under your home, hardwood floors ‘cupping’, visible mold growth in the crawl space, and condensation on ductwork. If you notice any of these signs, give us a call as soon as possible.

Benefits of Crawlspace Encapsulation

There are numerous key benefits to professional crawlspace encapsulation, including:

• Reduced Energy Bills – Taking steps to encapsulate your crawlspace can maintain indoor temperatures more efficiently. As a result, you can reduce your energy use by nearly 20%.
• Increased Property Values – Of course, having a closed-off crawlspace adds value to your home. Furthermore, if the time ever comes to sell your home, encapsulation means you can leverage more money for the property.
• Reduced Repairs – If moisture and mold were to set in, the cost would be extensive. Encapsulation, with proper ventilation and dehumidification, will reduce both and allow you to avoid costly repairs in the future.
• Mold Prevention – Obviously, mold prevention is a huge benefit of crawlspace encapsulation. Keeping your home free of mold is crucial in keeping your family healthy.

Restoration 1 of New York can diagnose your crawlspace for moisture and mold issues. Then, we will recommend and implement best practices in resolving the problem.

Preventing Mold in Your Crawlspace

Preventing mold starts with preventing unwanted moisture. With moisture and humidity, your crawlspace would become a breeding ground for mold. By closing off the crawlspace, you can reduce both moisture and humidity inside and rid yourself of the worry of mold growth. We pair encapsulation with a dehumidification system to stop mold from growing. Causes of moisture include exposure to unwanted rain or groundwater, poor ventilation, and leaking pipes.

Advantages of Crawlspace Encapsulation

We mentioned reduced energy bills, increased property values, and reduced repairs. However, crawlspace encapsulation can also provide peace of mind – one of the biggest advantages. You no longer have to worry about mold creeping through the floorboards or water-borne pests that love the moisture invading your home.
