CHARLESTON CRAWL SPACESNEED ENCAPSULATION

Do you have uneven wood floors, sticking interior doors, interior drywall cracks, increased allergy and asthma symptoms, and bad odors around your house? You may need a crawl space encapsulation, and Carolina Exterminating is here to help!

With high humidity and heavy rains in Charleston, SC and the surrounding areas, houses with crawl spaces are more susceptible to mold, wood rot, and eventual structural problems that can affect the inside of your home if left untreated. Nobody wants failing floor joists in their home! Corrosion can also occur to heating vents, water pipes, and electrical wires if the moisture levels are too high. Sweating duct work in the crawl space can increase the chances if these issues if not addressed. An encapsulation will dry up any moisture and prevent these issues from developing and help to reverse the effects caused by high moisture.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEENCrawl Space encapsulation and a vapor barrier?

When it comes to protecting your home from moisture, you have two main options: a vapor barrier or crawl space encapsulation. Both of these methods can help to prevent water damage and mold growth, but they work in different ways. A vapor barrier is a sheet of material that is placed over the floor of a crawl space. It works by blocking moisture from the ground, which can then seep into the home and cause problems.

Crawl space encapsulation, on the other hand, involves sealing the crawl space entirely. This process requires installing a waterproof liner on the floor and walls, as well as adding vent covers and a dehumidifier. Crawl space encapsulation is more expensive than a vapor barrier, but it is also more effective. When done correctly, it will create a dry, controlled environment that will protect your home from moisture and mold.

Vapor barriers cover only the ground and do not prevent moisture or pests from entering the home. As you can see, they degrade over time due to exposure and poor quality materials.
