Crawl Space Encapsulation Process
Erie Environmental specializes in comprehensive crawl space encapsulation services in the Cleveland, OH area. Many homes face moisture-related issues, often unnoticed due to the crawl space’s concealed nature. Our encapsulation services involve sealing the crawl space with a durable polyethylene barrier, preventing moisture intrusion and mitigating the risk of mold and mildew. Recognize signs like musty odors or increased utility bills, and trust Erie Environmental for timely intervention. Our team is committed to creating a clean, dry, and healthy foundation, enhancing the overall well-being of your home.
Upon receiving your call for crawl space encapsulation, Erie Environmental promptly sends a team of IICRC-certified technicians to assess your home. The crew conducts an initial evaluation, identifying moisture sources and mold damage, and formulates a comprehensive encapsulation plan.
To ensure crawlspace encapsulation is successful, we begin by cleaning out the area. Rocks, sticks, and other items are removed so as not to puncture the barrier.
Following that, we measure the dimensions of the crawl space and cut the barrier to precisely fit the corresponding surfaces. Total coverage ensures no gaps, with sealing tape applied under floor joists before attaching the barrier to walls and covering the floors.
With the crawlspace encapsulation system installed, you’ll need to monitor the humidity levels. A dehumidifier helps with this task, maintaining an optimal level of 45-50%.
