Crawl Space Waterproofing in Fairfield CT
Does your house feature a crawl space? Crawl spaces are often ignored. They are not easy to access and many people simply don’t care about what happens beneath their homes. The problem with ignoring your crawl space is that it can result in serious issues in your home. These include structural as well as health issues.
One of the best things you can do for your home is invest in crawl space waterproofing. This will help you address many of the common problems encountered in homes with crawl spaces.
Mold
Crawl spaces are vulnerable to mold infestation. This is mainly because of the location and exposure. They are vulnerable to water accumulation, poor air flow and are dark spaces. Crawl spaces often go undisturbed for years too. All these factors make these spaces the perfect grounds for mold infestation.
If you store items in the crawl space, you can be sure that they will be destroyed by mold. Mold can also cause serious health problems as a result of the distribution of their spores in the air that circulates from the crawl space into the home (which is about 60% of the air in the home).
You can solve the mold problem by simply investing in crawl space waterproofing. This will prevent moisture from entering the space and therefore prevent mold from establishing an infestation.
Pests
Mold aren’t the only living things that like dark and damp spaces. There are a variety of insects and animals that will find your dark, damp and poorly ventilated crawl space the perfect breeding ground. These include termites, snakes, rodents and raccoons. These pests can pose a health risk as well as a structural risk.
Waterproofing the crawl space by encapsulating it will keep these pests out of the crawl space. You can be sure of a pest free home and therefore be confident that your home is safe.
Air
Air in the home circulates in and out of the crawl space. Waterproofing your crawl space by encapsulating it ensures that the air circulating into the crawl space isn’t lost to the surrounding environment. This prevents heat loss in the winter.
Encapsulation also prevents air from the surrounding environment from entering the crawl space and being circulated in the home above. This helps to prevent internal temperatures from rising in the summer.
Encapsulation prevents your HVAC system from having to work harder to heat or cool your home. This in turn saves you a lot of money in energy consumption.
