Call UsCrawl Space Vent Sealing Solutions in Michigan
Homes used to be built with vented crawl spaces due to outdated building conventions. Now it is known that vents in crawl spaces cause serious problems.
Air flows upwards, which means part of the air you breathe in your home comes from your foundation. If your crawl space has open vents, outside air will come in and enter your living spaces, carrying dirt particles, humidity and even insects with it, all of which come with their own set of consequences, such as allergies and mold growth.
By sealing the crawl space vents, all of those unwanted hazards are kept outside, providing protection and comfort to your home and family. Our patented vent covers are mechanically attached to form an airtight seal.
Ventilated Crawl Spaces? Not by Basement Waterproofing of Michigan
Crawl spaces are cheaper and faster to build in comparison to full-blown basements, thus being a favorable option to construction companies. These are frequently fitted with vents or openings to allow circulation of external air in the crawl space.
Common insulation techniques involve placing fiberglass batts between joists, while the floor is usually made of soil or concrete.
This type of crawl space is troublesome. During the summer, warm and humid air enters through the vents, which condenses on the crawl space surfaces. Wooden parts absorb condensed water, easily becoming rotten, which attracts termites and carpenter ants. All of this makes the wooden structures frail and breakable.
Furthermore, fiberglass insulation absorbs moisture and may sag or even fall. This situation is worsened during the winter, when temperatures in your crawl space drop very low due to poor or faulty insulation, costing you a lot in heating bills.
In addition, polluted air may enter vented crawl spaces any time of the year, causing serious respiratory problems and allergies.
