Crawlspace Encapsulation
Welcome to Wixom Waterproofing
Serving Wixom, MI
Crawlspace encapsulation is a crucial process that involves sealing the crawlspace beneath your home to prevent moisture intrusion and improve indoor air quality. This process typically includes the installation of a heavy-duty vapor barrier along with sealing vents and adding insulation. By encapsulating the crawlspace, homeowners can effectively mitigate issues related to mold growth, structural damage, and energy inefficiency. Moisture can seep into the crawlspace from the ground and outside air, leading to a host of problems that can compromise the integrity of the home and the health of its occupants. Encapsulation acts as a protective shield, maintaining a dry and stable environment that contributes to the overall well-being of the home.
