There’s A Growing Problem In Your Crawlspace
Once the Aqua-Guard Crawlspace System has eliminated the water that was penetrating your home’s foundation, the next step toward securing a healthy home is crawlspace encapsulation. This seals off the crawlspace to all outside elements and brings the relative humidity level down. Crawlspace encapsulation creates an environment where mold, mildew and fungi cannot grow.
The Problem with Ventilation in Crawlspaces
For years, the perceived solution to a damp crawl space was to vent it—allowing outside air to come in. Venting to the outside can actually make the problem worse (especially during the hot, humid summers in the Southeastern U.S.). When warm, humid air enters a cool crawlspace, the humidity turns into condensation which creates an extremely damp crawlspace and an unhealthy environment.
Home and Health Improvements
40% or more of the air you breathe in your home originated in your crawl space. To make sure this air is the best it can be for our lungs, installing the Aqua-Guard Closed Crawlspace System is the next step in creating a healthy home.
