Crawlspace Care: Ensuring the Safety of Your Home
Crawlspaces are an essential part of your home's safety and overall health. Many homeowners tend to neglect them, but they can have severe consequences if left unattended. Pests can get into crawlspaces, causing damage to your home's foundation, poor indoor air quality, and potential health hazards. To prevent these issues, it's essential to care for your crawlspace. VAPER barrier and CrawlSpace Seal are two products that can help you keep pests away and maintain your crawlspace's condition. Let's discuss how to use these products to protect your home.
Our Crawlspace care process:
Crawlspace Inspection:
Before proceeding with any work, we will conduct an inspection of your crawlspace. Our aim is to identify any signs of mold and mildew, dampness on the ground, and any entry points that may allow rodents to enter, such as vents, doors, and pipe holes. Once we have assessed the situation, we will provide you with an accurate quote for the necessary services.
Vapor Barrier:
A vapor barrier is a thick polyethylene sheet used to cover the flooring of your crawlspace, preventing exposure to water vapor. This simple plastic sheet can save you from the heartache and costs that come with mold and structural damage caused by water damage to your home. Your crawl space is usually dark, musty, and cold, making it the perfect host for moisture, mold, and mildew. A vapor barrier helps prevent this moisture from seeping through the floor of your crawl space, which can cause various issues like structural damage and mold growth. Therefore, it is essential to have a vapor barrier in your crawl space as it keeps it dry and free from damage.
Ventilation:
Proper ventilation is mandatory for good air flow under your home. This allows fresh air to improve your home's air quality, as well as helping to keep the ground under your home free of moisture.
Exclusion:
Including our exclusion work as a part of your crawlspace care plan is highly recommended. Our primary focus is on preventing moisture from causing mold and mildew, but we can also take proactive measures to stop rodents from entering your home through the crawlspace. By sealing off the access points that we discover around the exterior of your house, we can help prevent any future rodent infestations.
