WHY SHOULD YOU ENCAPSULATE YOUR CRAWLSPACE?
For home owners here in the beautiful Southeast Tennessee region we face numerous problems concerning the upkeep of our homes. Chances are, your home's foundation is either a solid concrete slab, a basement, or what we specialize in, a crawl space. Inside your crawl space you have several culprits that are constantly causing moisture levels to rise. If you were to look around your foundation, you will probably see several foundation vents that the builder placed around the perimeter walls. If you open up your crawlspace door, you will likely see some sort of a plastic vapor barrier that someone laid down in hopes of blocking moisture from your main flooring system. Everywhere you see a gap in that plastic moisture barrier on the ground, moisture is rising up from the ground. At every vent, crack, crevice, opening of any kind, within your foundation walls, there is condensation occurring. The air inside your crawl space is cooler than the air outside in the summer. It switches with the seasons, as you switch from air conditioning, to heat. And in the winter months, the air inside your crawlspace will be warmer than the air outside. When you have two different temperatures (warm and cold) colliding with one another, this is what creates condensation.
Depending on the time of year you are deciding to inspect inside your crawl space, if it is a warm summer month, and you are currently running your air conditioning regularly, focus your attention to the bottom of your duct work. You will see water droplets along the bottoms, on most of, if not all of your ducts. You may also notice where some of these are dripping so much that they have created amounts of standing water on the ground.
Do you have a porch? If you will look over to your foundation wall where your porch is, you should see some sort of opening, leading underneath the porch. Some are dirt filled and provide no human access. However, your subflooring around that opening in your foundation wall where your porch is, is usually one of the most problematic areas of the entire crawl space. There is A LOT OF MOISTURE coming out of that porch area!
WHERE DO YOU SUPPOSE ALL THIS MOISTURE IS GOING?
If you just said ''Straight to my flooring system'', then congratulations! You are absolutely correct! And as all this moisture absorbs into your wood, it creates wood destroying fungi, mold, mildew, and increases the percentages of getting an onslaught of termites, as we all know they prefer moist environments, and require moisture in order for their survival. If you have floor insulation, you may notice it falling down, hanging all over the place, and a lot of times, saturated in water! And if you are seeing all of these signs, and inside your house you have hardwood flooring, I wouldn't be at all surprised, if you are not already experiencing buckling, and warping of your floors.
OK TANNER! I'M WITH YOU! BUT HOW DO I STOP ALL OF THIS?
There is only 1 way. You have to take the current state, of the environment within your crawlspace, AND COMPLETELY CHANGE IT! That's what we do! As you may have already seen, and what you will continue seeing in our videos, is us taking moisture levels inside crawl spaces, from usually greater than 75% , down to under 45%. We do this consistently, better than anyone else in the business, and we've BEEN DOING IT a long time! The numbers don't lie people. And the encapsulation by itself won't do it! And a dehumidifier by itself won't do it! And automatic power fans by themselves won't do it! And putting new plastic all over your ground won't do it!
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS YOU EITHER DO RIGHT, OR YOU WASTE YOUR MONEY!
It's an ongoing system ladies and gentleman. It's teamwork at it's finest. When installed on the professional levels you will only find done by The Crawlspace Artists, your system is now complete! The only thing there is to do once we are completed with your project is change the filter in your dehumidifier once every six months. DO NOT GO LONGER THAN THAT! You will run the risk of damaging your dehumidifier unit if you do.
Follow these steps, and that current moisture problem your battling, well it will soon be a thing of the past. This is not ''hear say'' people! This information wasn't given to me by my engineer buddies! I didn't read it in a magazine! I'm just a local guy, born and raised in Cleveland TN, who takes pride in what he does, who isn't afraid to learn, that's experienced a lot of trial and error, which all accumulated to bring you here today, and follow along a group of guys that have the capabilities, and more importantly, THE INTEGRITY, to provide you with a level of quality, you're going to have a hard time finding ANYWHERE ELSE!
