Protect Your Home with Crawl Space Encapsulation
In South Carolina, those perfect seventy-degree sunny days are few and far between. More often, homeowners face high energy bills from running the heat in winter and the AC in summer. But with proper insulation and crawl space protection, you can enjoy year-round comfort—without overspending.
Best Home & Property Services offers expert insulation solutions to help reduce energy waste and lower your utility costs. And since up to half of the air in your home comes from the crawl space, keeping that area clean and dry is just as important. Our CleanSpace® crawl space encapsulation system—complete with a vapor barrier and dehumidifier—helps protect your home from moisture-related issues that affect your health, comfort, and safety.
Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation
- Protection from humidity - Living near the ocean means dealing with extreme humidity. Encapsulation prevents that sticky, damp feeling in your home during those brutal Carolina summers while keeping your floors warm during those chilly winter months when the sea breeze cuts through.
- Better indoor air quality - In our climate, vented crawl spaces pull in salt-laden, humid air that can lead to musty odors and potential health issues. Since up to 50% of indoor air comes from below, encapsulation creates a cleaner, healthier home environment.
- Lower energy bills in extreme weather - With our intense summer heat and winter storms, sealed crawl spaces are a game-changer. Homeowners along the Carolina coast typically save 20% or more on energy costs, according to Advanced Energy's research - that's significant savings during peak AC season.
- Storm-ready storage space - Transform your crawl space into a clean, bright, and, most importantly, dry storage area that's protected from hurricane season flooding, coastal moisture, and storm surge. Your belongings stay safe and dry, no matter what weather blows in from the Atlantic.
- Barrier against coastal pests - Our warm, humid climate attracts destructive pests like palmetto bugs, termites, and wood-destroying insects that thrive in damp environments. Encapsulation creates a robust barrier against these coastal nuisances, protecting your home's structure and your peace of mind.
Clean. Dry. Sealed. Just the Way It Should Be.
Crawl space issues often arise due to the unique challenges of coastal living. The humid subtropical climate, combined with warm, moist air and frequent coastal storms, creates an ideal environment for water intrusion and high humidity levels in crawl spaces. Older homes, especially those built before modern moisture barrier standards, are particularly vulnerable to these problems.
Excess moisture in crawl spaces can lead to a host of issues, including:
- Mold growth and wood rot
- Structural damage to floor joists and supports
- Poor indoor air quality
- Increased energy costs
- Pest infestations
