Your crawl space may seem like it exists outside the walls of your home, that it is secluded away from you and your family. You might not think that it has much of an impact on the quality of life your family maintains in the home, but this is not the case. The crawl space plays a big part in the quality of your home meaning that it is very important to maintain and keep it healthy the same as you would a main living area of the house.
Calling a crawl space repair professional is essential for evaluating the condition of your crawl space and ensuring that it is conditioned properly. Conditioning your crawl space is the process of both encapsulating it (installing a vapor barrier to permit the intrusion of moisture) and installing a dehumidification system to keep the moisture levels at a therapeutic level.
We at Barrier Waterproofing Systems utilize the EZ Breathe Crawlspace Conditioner to complete newly repaired crawlspace and keep it dry. When we install one of these systems into your crawlspace, it will immediately begin to exhaust the damp, contaminated air. The Intake Fans will push clean air from the upper levels of your home such as the living room and assist with ventilation. These two machines work together to condition your crawl space in this way, reversing the negative effects of the Stack Effect that takes place naturally in your home.
The following benefits of conditioning your crawl space include:
- Expelling gallons of humidity and water vapor
- Reducing mold and mildew growth
- Eliminating musty odors and other bad smells
- Preventing a decaying foundation
- Increases the health of the indoor environment through the home
- Removes the triggers for allergies & asthma
- Sends airborne particles, soil gases and radon that can accumulate in your crawl space out through the exhaust
Conditioning your crawl space is a superior way of mechanically achieving ventilation and a clean, dry environment. Your crawl space will no longer be at the mercy of the outdoor weather humidity that creates a damp, moist, and moldy environment.
