Marysville, Kansas is a town known for its small-town atmosphere. The population is just under 3,500. They are also known for a population of black squirrels that are rumored to have escaped from a circus that passed through town.
Homeowners in Marysville also have the same concerns as anyone else when it comes to high energy bills, mold, and pest infestations. To avoid or stop those problems, those homeowners can call on Epp Foundation Repair for a crawl space encapsulation.
What Is Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Before crawl space encapsulation, that part of your home is a dark and dingy area. The process of crawl space encapsulation removes any damaged insulation and other material, insulates the walls, and wraps the walls and floors with poly sheeting. It effectively removes the problems you are experiencing.
Who Needs Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Most, if not all homes would benefit from crawl space encapsulation. It is especially important, however, for those who are already experiencing the following problems.
Moisture Problems:
Moisture tends to be a problem in most crawl spaces. As a result, you might have problems with mold and wood rot. It can also impact the air quality and comfort in the living space.
Indoor Air Quality:
Have you noticed a decline in the quality of your indoor air? This can be directly related to an unprotected crawl space. You may notice that those with respiratory issues, such as asthma, may have difficulty breathing.
Mold and Mildew:
Do you have mold and mildew in the crawlspace? This is due to the moisture that typically is in the area. You may also notice it in other areas of the home as well.
Unwanted Pests:
Bugs, rodents, and other pest infestations are common in unprotected crawl spaces. If those infestations are a problem in your home, you would benefit from a crawl space encapsulation.
High Energy Costs:
The high humidity and drafty space below your home impacts the rest of the home as well. Regardless of whether you are trying to heat or cool the living space, it will take more energy to do it. It is common for people to call Epp because their energy bills are out of control.
Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation
You don’t typically have to wait long after you have your crawl space encapsulated to experience the benefits. Here are some benefits you can expect.
By cutting off the moisture and drying the air, crawl space encapsulation effectively helps to control mold and mildew.
You will breathe easier after crawl space encapsulation. Since a significant amount of air transfer occurs between the crawl space and the living space, you can expect the air quality to go up significantly.
Since you are controlling the moisture and drafts in the crawl space with encapsulation, you are making it easier to heat and cool the home. The result is lower energy costs
Are you tired of unwanted pests in the home? Crawl space encapsulation is the way to control the infestation from the ground up.
Epp will look at your situation and, at times, may see the need to control water to keep the crawl space dry. Those efforts, along with crawl space encapsulation, protect the foundation from damage.
Imagine having more room to store your stuff. A lack of storage space is a common complaint among homeowners. Since the crawl space is clean and dry after encapsulation, you can store your stuff with confidence.
