The homeowners began to worry about the health of their home, so they decided to begin their search for the best company to solve their problems!They found our website and really liked our encapsulation process. They were thinking that was what they were looking for, but they wanted to be sure and decided to take advantage of our free inspection with a trained inspector. The homeowners met with John and he inspected the crawl space, took reference photos, took moisture tests, and then sat back down with them to share what he found. He told them what concerns he had with the leaks and puddles, as well as informed them about the high wood moisture content of their supporting joists. He then told them about our encapsulation process and all of the benefits that it came with, such as lower humidity levels, lower energy bills, and better air quality. They loved that we had nationally back products, so they were safe even if our company no longer existed. They were equally as impressed with the products John talked about, so they agreed to start the project!

Open Vents
Open vents in the summer is especially hazardous to your crawl space's health, because when that warm, humid air comes into the space, the air is cooled and the relative humidity goes up. High relative humidity causes rot, mold, energy loss, and attracts pests.
Leaks
Leaks in the crawl space contribute to high moisture rate, which will only damage your foundation and cause mold to grow.
Puddles
Puddles of water in the crawl space just sit there until they evaporates into your home.
Relative Humidity Rate
The relative humidity rate of the wood beams in this crawl space was 39%! This is the rate at which decay and permanent damage occurs. The high rate is from the exposed soil ground, open vents, and water leakage.
