Protect Against Moisture, Mold, and Pests With Crawl Space Encapsulation
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
At Best Home & Property Services, we address these challenges with our comprehensive crawl space encapsulation system. Our process includes:
- Water intrusion prevention
- Moisture seepage control
- Air leak sealing
- Proper air conditioning
Advanced Moisture Control Solutions
We use the CleanSpace® vapor barrier, a 20-mil reinforced polymer liner with a 25-year warranty against rips and tears. This heavy-duty barrier effectively prevents moisture seepage from the ground and walls, creating a dry environment that's inhospitable to mold and pests.
For homes with existing water issues, we install the SmartPipe™ perimeter drainage system and a specially designed crawl space sump pump to efficiently remove water.
Crawl Space Dehumidification
To maintain optimal humidity levels, we offer the SaniDry Sedona dehumidifier. This powerful unit is specifically designed for crawl spaces and basements, effectively controlling moisture and improving indoor air quality throughout your home.
Structural Support
For crawl spaces with sagging or damaged floor joists, we provide the SmartJack® support system. These adjustable, galvanized steel posts can support loads exceeding 60,000 pounds, offering a permanent solution to structural issues.
Before and After Crawlspace Encapsulation
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.
