Crawl space encapsulation, which is essentially wrapping or sealing the crawl space, effectively keeps away unwanted moisture from the foundation of your home. Many homes have their HVAC equipment positioned in the crawl space. And if your home in Portsmouth, Laconia, Dover, Barrington or Durham, NH is one of these, you probably have ventilation issues there. Originally, these vents were intended to boost airflow, mitigating the growth of mold. However, the vents inadvertently let in more moisture, which leads to challenges like water condensation forming on the cooling ducts. Such conditions not only decrease the energy efficiency of your HVAC unit, they also create a moist environment, which attracts insects, allows for mold growth, and can create poor indoor air quality.
The solution to excessive moisture and all the issues that come with it is crawl space encapsulation. The crawl space waterproofing experts at NH Dry Basement begin by discarding any old and worn-out plastic sheets on the ground, then carefully remove and dispose of old insulation. Our skilled team then installs vapor barriers, wall curtains, and ground liners, and ensures every crawl space vent is securely sealed from the inside. For added protection, we can even install a top-tier, energy-efficient crawl space dehumidifier.
Making your crawl space airtight and enhancing the circulation quality for your HVAC system ensures your home remains less vulnerable to pests, adds value, and increases the performance and efficiency of your HVAC unit. It can also prevent water damage, which can be detrimental to the structural integrity of your home near Dover.
