Crawl Space Restoration
Crawl Spaces are tough to maintain and you can count on us to do the dirty work. An open crawl space needs to have proper ventilation and a good vapor barrier on the ground to control condensation. Also, entry points at the ground level can be a superhighway for rodents and other unwanted animals.
Peachtree Pest Control can customize a program to remove debris and old insulation, install a fresh vapor barrier, replace or add ventilation, repair or replace crawl space entry doors, and seal up any potential entry holes. Later, new insulation can be added to your floor to keep your floors cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Moisture in the crawlspace can cause serious issues to your home. Encapsulation is the ultimate crawlspace solution. Moisture can lead to pest infestation, wood rot, musty odors, structural damage, poor air quality and worst of all, health concerns.
Peachtree Pest Control will professionally encapsulate your crawlspace by removing debris, lining the space with high quality liner and installing a dehumidifier to remove unwanted moisture and drastically improve air quality feeding to your home. Your crawlspace will be monitored with bi-annual maintenance inspections to keep the system in tip-top shape.
Crawl Space Moisture Barrier
Basement moisture is a home maintenance issue that must be addressed immediately. Left untreated, it can cause bigger issues that can be even more expensive to fix down the line. A moist crawl space will not only cause mold and unwanted odors it can also lead to damaged walls, floors, interior fixtures, and belongings. A simple inspection of your home will help you identify where the root of the problem is. If you typically experience heavy rains, condensation, leaks in plumbing, clogged gutters, and/or groundwater infiltration, it is highly likely that basement moisture is present.
An uninsulated crawl space can be a major disadvantage when it comes to home maintenance because damp soil is an inevitable component of a crawl space floor. Vapor barriers reduce moisture levels, helping to prevent mold and unwanted odors from forming. Vapor barriers even help keep floors at comfortable temperatures as they prevent moisture from rising to the actual flooring installation. A moisture barrier keeps dampness at bay, thus keeping floors warm in winter and cool during the summer heat.
Insulating your crawl space with an additional layer of moisture barrier will also help you make your home more energy efficient. Just as high moisture levels in crawl spaces can affect the temperature of your floor, it can also affect the temperature inside the home. Vapor barriers act as sealants that control moisture and make your flooring installations more energy efficient, helping to effectively lower energy costs.
