Residents who own a double-wide or modular home in Middletown, Delaware can gain significant benefits by enclosing the crawl spaces beneath their homes. The crawl space is an open area underneath these types of homes that allow utility components, like water pipes and wiring for electricity, to service to structure.
WHAT IS CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION?
Encapsulating a crawl space allows this area to be sealed and protected in an effort to control the moisture in the space. To do this, mechanical drying processes are used and the area is air-sealed. If the home has original insulation on its exterior walls or floor, the insulation is left in place after the encapsulation process is finished; otherwise, the insulation in the crawl space is removed.
THE BENEFITS OF CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION
An encapsulated crawl space offers solutions to problems with moisture affecting the integrity of a home and can cut down on energy losses and expenses. Additional improvements are:
- Stopping pests from entering the crawl space area and home
- Increasing the value of the home
- Improving the lifelong durability of the home’s flooring
- Improving the air quality in the home by preventing mold from forming
- Keeping the floor warmer in cold weather
- Halting rot from forming within the crawl space
