Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl Space Encapsulation Services in Oklahoma City, Ada & Beyond

Your home is a system, and every part of that system plays a role that affects the rest of the structure. If your crawl space begins to experience wood rot, mold growth or structural problems, these problems won’t stay in the crawl space. Wood rot can spur structural issues for your home’s foundation. Mold spores can make their way into the home’s living space, causing or inflaming respiratory issues.

At Pierman, we specialize in crawl space waterproofing problems of all types. We offer fast free crawl space repair quotes throughout much of Oklahoma, including Oklahoma City, Ada, Ardmore, Durant, and Norman. Whatever your issue, we have the products and experience that you need to find the best solution.

Crawl space encapsulation will help you avoid larger repairs later, create a healthier living environment, and possibly save money on your utility bills. And once you’ve encapsulated your crawl space with a vapor barrier, you’ve gained valuable storage space in your home.

What Crawl Space Encapsulation Entails

Vapor Barrier Installation

We will install a vapor barrier on the walls, floor and any piers within your crawl space to limit moisture infiltration. The vapor barrier consists of tear-resistant plastic sheeting. This will serve to prevent not just water but also excess humidity from wreaking havoc on your crawl space.

Sealing Your Crawl Space

One of the biggest problems facing a crawl space is when they are built with vents that allow outside air into the space. The reason behind this is to help dry the house. However, venting crawl spaces has been determined as counterproductive, especially in crawl spaces with vapor barriers. Instead of serving as a means by which moisture can escape it simply allows moisture to gain entry to the crawl space.

Additional Waterproofing Measures

If your crawl space floods severely enough where a vapor barrier is not sufficient other waterproofing measures can be taken to ensure that the encapsulation keeps your crawl space dry and free of the scourges of wood rot and mold.

Problems Crawl Space Encapsulation Can Prevent

During the summer, hot and humid air from your crawl space can cause severe issues to your home if your crawl space is not encapsulated. These issues include:

Soft, Sagging Floors

Buckling Floors

Mold & Mildew

Bugs in Your Home

Weakening Structure

Prevent Mold Issues In Your Oklahoma Home

It is common for homes that have crawl space problems to have increased air quality issues. This is due to the mold and mildew building up under your home. Mold and mildew love dark, damp environments, and an unencapsulated crawl space fits both of those descriptions perfectly.

The mold and mildew spores can then find their way into your living space through cracks or your home’s ventilation system. And when they do, health problems can follow. They can range from mild respiratory symptoms to more significant problems, especially for anyone with a pre-existing respiratory issue.
