First Choice Heating and Air Crawlspace Encapsulation Services

Did you know that up to 50% of the air you breathe in your home comes up from your crawlspace? Because of that, it is important to keep it as clean and dry as possible. Water enters your crawlspace from the ground (yes, even through cement) or can accumulate during inclement weather or through major condensation from no ventilation. Having excess moisture in your crawlspace puts your home at risk of water damage, mold, pest infestation, wood decay and decreased energy efficiency. Crawlspace encapsulation block outs all of the excess moisture by creating a vapor barrier.

Crawlspace encapsulation not only protects the foundation but it makes your home a healthier place to live. It is also smart to add on a dehumidifier and a sump pump to help with the moisture and to help with improving your indoor air quality.

Why Encapsulate?

People get their crawlspaces encapsulated to avoid these issues:

Mold dangers
Mildew odors
