Crawlspace encapsulation Concord NC - specialtyfounda...
The Concord / Kannapolis area in Cabarrus County is becoming a popular place for people to move to. many of the houses are old and in need of important maintenance and/or foundation upgrades.
Crawlspace encapsulation is a type of moisture control system installed in a raw, unfinished space underneath a Concord, NC home to prevent, mold, mildew and dampness from entering the upstairs space. With a dirt crawlspace your foundation may be experiencing bad smells, high humidity, puddles of water, broken concrete foundation, heaps and heaps of dirt, little to no access, little to no insulation, radon gases, water vapor, mold, insects, termites, pests and/or vermin.
What it boils down to is that almost all crawl spaces in Concord and/or the Greater Cabarrus County area, can have multiple problems. Through a process known as the stacking effect, air travels up from underneath the home and takes the crawl space air with it. Many Americans currently live with asthma problems and other breathing related problems due to the dirt foundations underneath their home and the mold spores released as well as dust mites that travel with it. Why? The moisture levels in the crawlspace are unregulated due to a multitude of possible crawl space air quality challenges resulting in an environment conducive to mold, dust mites and mildew growth attacking wood and attracting insects and rodents.
A good quality vapor barrier combined with a common sense crawl space encapsulation can dramatically reduce the level of humidity in the home, keep out pests, termites and vermin, as well as saving the customer thousands of dollars in energy bills over the years.
Reasons to have your crawl space encapsulated include:
-Storage space
-Termite prevention
-Better energy bills
-Cleaner look
-Warmer winters and cooler summers
-Saves you thousands on crawl space water damage repair
Encapsulation barriers are made out of different materials, from basic plastic sheeting to much thicker, multi-layered reinforced polyester which needs to be professionally installed. If a homeowner has a severe problem, such as a very wet crawl space or if there is a mold issue, they often turn to installing a barrier to prevent further decay and protect the upstairs home environment. A professionally installed, multi-layered crawl space vapor barrier can be quite costly when compared to some of the do-it-yourself plastic sheeting methods found at hardware stores. Some of the more expensive professional crawl-space encapsulation systems offer heavy-duty, multi-layer polyester reinforced material similar to a pool liner.
This high density liner is usually white. It is spread across the entire floor area and attached to the side walls. It gets sealed around pipes and piers, fully encapsulating the entire crawl space. After this kind of installation, the space is quite often a better place to crawl around in since there is usually no exposed dirt or mess to contend with. Usually this type of material is puncture resistant, water proof, anti-microbial, and fire retardant. When properly installed, crawl space encapsulation may also cut down on heating and cooling bills while providing a clean, dry storage space. If a home is in a humid area, like Concord NC, an encapsulation system is sometimes installed with a crawl space dehumidifier to help keep the area dry.
If the property is located in an area that may flood, some systems come with drains, sump pumps and water alarms, which operate in a similar manner as smoke alarms.
