The sealed system

How does crawl space encapsulation work in Grand Island?

Grand Island sits on sandy Platte River ground where the water table rises and falls with the seasons, so moisture in a crawl space here can come up from below as well as in through the vents. Epp's Grand Island crew on Bronze Road answers that with a sealed system: drainage matting under the liner where water rises, a liner sealed over the floor and walls, and sealed foundation vents so outside air stays out, with a dehumidifier to finish it. Settled posts or a sagging floor are crawl space repair in Grand Island, a separate job.

Grand Island housing

When were Grand Island homes built?

Based on U.S. Census Bureau survey data, about 30 percent of the 21,216 homes in Grand Island were built before 1960, and about 61 percent before 1980. The median home dates to 1974.

In an older crawl space, a thin plastic sheet laid years ago can tear and pull apart at the seams. The inspection checks the cover on the soil, the vents and any water on the floor.

Based on NOAA 1991 to 2020 climate normals for Grand Island Airport, about 4 miles away, precipitation averages 26.6 inches a year and the average July dew point is 64 degrees. In a vented crawl space, water can condense on any pipe, duct or joist that is cooler than 64 degrees.

"Homeowners ask me to clean the mold. I don't clean mold. I make it impossible for mold to grow. Stop the water, drop the humidity down to where mold can't live, and the colony dies on its own. Then a remediator scrubs the surfaces clean and it stays clean."

What we install

Crawl Space Encapsulation solutions for Grand Island homes

Each item below is one part of the same sealed system, and the inspection decides which parts a Grand Island crawl space needs.

Cost and scope

What does crawl space encapsulation cost in Grand Island?

Pricing depends on the size of the crawl, how much water gets in, and whether drainage or a sump goes in first. The free inspection ends with a Customized Repair Estimate that states the scope and the price.

When is crawl space encapsulation not the right fix?

If the posts, beams or joists under the house have moved, crawl space repair comes first, and the sealed system goes in once the structure is sound.

What Grand Island customers say

Thank you so much for coming down here so quickly after my first call. My son in law recommended you and he definitely was right. You have a very great team that you work with from the phone calls to the people that have been here to do the work. They are very efficient but also very kind. They took the time to visit with me and answer my questions so I could make the decisions that were best for me. The guys from grand island were very good. They finished the job very quickly and did a great job of trying to get everything back to normal. I really appreciated that they worked on keeping my yard intact. Thank you so much for your help. I will definitely recommend you to other people.

Conner was on time for my appointment, & he explained to me what they would do to get my spare bedroom warmer. The floor was 10 degrees colder than my kitchen floor! Hunter & 2 others were here promptly at 8:00 a.m. & were finished by 10:00 a.m. They laid down plastic to protect my carpet. Hunter showed me pictures of the floor joists & showed me where they sprayed the insulation after they had cleaned up. They did an excellent job, & I would definitely recommend Epp Concrete.
