With October fast approaching, many people begin to think about the spookier things in life. The things that make our hair stand on end, like a full moon, ghosts in graveyards, and hockey masks. One rather spooky thing, however, that most people don’t think of is their very home! In homes with a crawl space foundation, there can be quite a few bothersome things lurking about underneath the house.
We have received many calls from local homeowners that said their crawl spaces made them feel like screaming! Our team has performed countless encapsulation jobs to ensure the crawl spaces were cleaned and sealed up to prevent any of the harmful mold growth or unsanitary pest infestations that had gone awry. Some images captured by our “before” photos can look like a nightmare for any homeowner to have to deal with. On top of the mess and debris, the problems for the rest of the home that the poor conditions create, like allergens and other spores circulating through the air, are enough to send shivers down their spine.
Some homeowners that have had encapsulation jobs performed before have been shocked to discover that their crawl space too has deteriorated into quite the mess. This is due to a subpar installation of the vapor barrier or sealing of the cracks and crevices that has let in the moisture that was believed to been sealed out properly. Other homeowners have performed a DIY encapsulation of their own, only to have missed some small yet important variables that ultimately had the same affect towards the demise of their crawl space.
