IMPROVING CRAWLSPACE INSULATION EFFICIENCY

Properly insulating and sealing a crawlspace is essential for increasing comfort, saving energy costs, enhancing the durability of the home, and preventing the entry of moisture, radon, and other pollutants. We specialize in properly insulating your crawlspace, and the key elements for an effective crawlspace include:

• Moisture control: Implement a water-management system to divert rainwater and groundwater away from the foundation.
• Airtight construction: Seal all air leaks between the interior and exterior before adding insulation.
• Complete insulation coverage: Ensure the proper installation of insulation to achieve continuous and thorough coverage.

FOUNDATION WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Crawlspaces are vulnerable to moisture issues due to their contact with the ground. To prevent problems, we always follow these guidelines:

1. Keep untreated wood away from the ground.
2. Install rain drainage systems, such as gutters, to direct water away from the home.
3. Grade the soil away from the house at a minimum 5% slope for 5 feet. Create drainage swales for rainwater diversion.
4. Use a sill gasket for air sealing.
5. Apply a protective membrane, like EPDM, to act as a moisture barrier and termite shield.
6. Damproof foundation walls to prevent moisture absorption.
7. Utilize drainage plane materials or gravel against the foundation wall to relieve pressure.
8. Create a foundation drainage system at the bottom of the footing, surrounded by gravel and filter fabric.
9. Cover the crawlspace floor with 6-mil polyethylene to block soil moisture infiltration. Seam tape and seal the polyethylene for maximum protection.

Why Choose Our Waterproofing Services?

At Doc Crawlspace, we offer all the waterproofing solutions necessary to keep your home's interior safe from potential water damage.

• Crawlspace and basement waterproofing to protect your home from water damage.
• If your walls are leaking, we offer low-and-high-pressure crack injection.

• Waterproofing inspections to identify potential issues and provide solutions.
• Crawlspace encapsulation to prevent moisture and mold growth. Crawlspace encapsulation protects your home from moisture, which can cause mold.

• Encapsulating your crawl space has many benefits. It reduces mold-causing moisture. It creates less draft and a more energy-efficient home. It keeps soil gasses from coming into the home. These soil gases have an earthy-smelling odor. Some people refer to it as the smell of a wet dog.
• Moisture causes not only mold but it causes rotting of the wood. Encapsulating your crawl space protects and adds to the longevity of your subfloor.
• The overall health of the home is contingent on the overall health of the crawl space. During the heating season, as the warm air is rising the warm air is pulling up the air from the crawl space. This is called the stack effect. The air quality of an unsealed crawl space is several times worse than indoor air. Indoor air quality is extremely important. There are several ways to improve the overall air quality in your home. Cleaning air ducts is a great way to improve overall air quality, properly cleaning the furnace is another great way to improve your indoor air quality. Adding indoor air filters also helps to reduce poor air conditions. The fact is, properly sealing your crawl space with the right materials is the overall best way to change you the air quality in your home.
• Crawlspace restoration has been around for a short while now. Methods and techniques vary from company to company. Motivations are also different across the board. Businesses are in business to make money. Today, people have seemed to move away from integrity! Integrity is doing the right thing even when someone isn’t watching. This has been an important philosophy in our family. To us, it's not just about getting the job done, it's about getting the job done right. Honesty is something else our company stands for. We are not interested in selling you anything except ourselves. We go more than that extra mile for our customers. Every job is finished with love.
