Crawl space encapsulation is a proven way to protect your home from moisture-related issues, such as mold and mildew, by adding a sealed vapor barrier to all the surfaces of your crawlspace. Water vapor can seep into your home from the ground, even through concrete. By installing a heavy-duty StegoCrawl® wrap lining to keep the water vapor out , Align Foundation Repair can help you to avoid common and costly issues such as:

  • Crawl Space Encapsulation in Dallas-Fort Worth TXMold and/or organic growth in the crawl space
  • High humidity in the crawlspace that leaks into the home
  • Rotten lumber
  • Warped or buckling floors
  • Moldy or musty smells in the house

Crawl space encapsulation is a particularly underutilized safeguard here in Dallas-Fort Worth, where hot, humid summers are a way of life. Benefits of adding a vapor barrier to your crawl space include helping:

  • Keep your home dry and free of mold and fungi
  • Prevent water damage
  • Improved air quality and more comfortable living conditions
  • Greater energy efficiency and lower energy costs

We retrofit existing pier and beam house foundations with crawl space encapsulation, or install it for new construction pier and beam and new construction homes. Depending on the size of the project, the timeline to complete encapsulation is only 2-5 days. Disruption to your home is minimal, as we do not require work on the inside of your house, but instead all work will be don in the crawls space of your home.

At Align Foundation Repair, we provide comprehensive crawl space protection to keep your home environment healthy, safe, and clean. If you are experiencing moisture-related problems in your home, now is the time to act to avoid more costly issues down the line. Call us today for a free inspection and quote.
