Homes built with crawl space type foundations became popular in the U.S., in the years that followed WW2. This type of foundation could be built faster and for lower costs when compared to full basements, while still providing access to plumbing, wiring and ducts. These crawl spaces were fitted with vents, which we now know create more problems than solve. Crawl space vents cause structural decay, mold, pests and higher energy consumption.
Basement Waterproofing of Michigan offers solutions for all problems related to crawl spaces. Have us install our Crawl Shield Encapsulation System and let us perform structural repair services, and improve your home’s healthiness and your family’s quality of life.
Common Crawl Space Problems
Groundwater Intrusion
Crawl spaces are rarely built with drainage systems, and are often improperly graded. Water that enters these poorly built foundations sits there in puddles, a breeding ground for microorganisms and a source of humidity.
Basement Waterproofing of Michigan offers the best in drainage solutions for your crawl space.
High Humidity
The dirt floor in crawl spaces allows water to evaporate into the space, and the vents, commonly found in this type of foundation, allow external, humid air in. These sources of moisture aggravate problems related to high levels of relative humidity.
Ou crawl space encapsulation system is designed to address all sources of moisture.
Mold, Odors & Structural Decay
When Relative Humidity levels in a given environment surpass 60%, mold and dry rot start to occur. Crawl spaces are known to become excessively humid, a problem that cannot be solved with vents, fans or plastic sheet lining on the floor to serve as a vapor barrier.
Basement Waterproofing of Michigan provides crawl space solutions on the latest building science recommendations.
