If you are looking to reduce the moisture building up under your Cary home, you need to take the step toward sealing your crawl space. This can only be done through crawl space encapsulation and sealing in Cary.

Most of the “dirty” air in your home is the result of air seeping in from the crawl space below your floorboards. According to the EPA, more than 60% of the air in the 1st floor of your home travels through the crawl space! The negative pressure in your crawl space from a leaking HVAC system and other common issues pulls the air from the crawl space through the flooring to your living area.

Why Should I Seal My Crawl Space in Cary?

During summer or any time seasonal temperatures rise, hot and humid, mold-laden air is drawn into your crawl space allowing for condensation, which promotes additional mold growth. This microbial activity spreads throughout the crawl space creating an environment of unhealthy air. Soon, this “dirty” air will be pulled into the living space of your home for everyone to breathe.

How do we solve this problem? By inspecting the area under your home to create a custom plan for crawl space sealing.

8 Reasons to Encapsulate & Seal Your Cary Crawl Space

1. You can eliminate vapor transmission into your home. Over 60% of your air in the 1st floor of your home comes from the crawl space. This “dirty” air can rise through the flooring and then mix with the clean fresh air in your home, reducing the overall quality.

2. Humidity control in the entire home. Foundation vents are notorious for letting hot, humid air into your crawl space. Once inside the crawl space, this humid air can make its way into the rest of the home! The EPA, American Medical Association, and the American Lung Association all recommend maintaining relative humidity levels from 30% – 50%.

3. To create a new, dry and clean climate. Mold needs three things to grow: moisture, warmth, and a food source. By fully encapsulating the crawl space in your Cary home, you can remove moisture that promotes mold growth on organic materials like wood and paper used as insulation backing. Encapsulation will completely seal this organic material reducing surface areas where mold commonly grows.

4. Odor elimination. Excessive moisture can lead to stale, musty odors in the crawl space. Remove the moisture and the odor will follow suit.

5. Discourage pests like insects and rodents. Damp environments are a haven for pests. Reduce the moisture buildup with a sealed Cary crawl space.

6. Save MONEY! You may be able to reduce energy costs by up to 15% annually with a crawl space encapsulation from our Cary professionals. Your HVAC system’s efficiency can be reduced severely by the open foundation vents found in the home. In winter and summer, the seasonal air travels into the home. Your HVAC must work harder to condition the air to your comfort level. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, with “Proper insulation of a crawl space, in addition to air sealing and moisture control, you can save on energy costs and increase your home’s comfort (A Consumer’s Guide to Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy – Crawl Space Insulation).

7. Help preserve your home’s structural integrity.Water vapor entering the crawl space from moisture located in the ground below your home can become abundant enough to cause puddling. Combine this large amount of water and the dark and dank conditions in the crawl space, and you have an environment that breeds mold which can quickly spread to any organic material. Since moist wood is like a buffet to termites, rot and decay can eventually destroy your home’s structural stability.

8. Peace of Mind! By discouraging pests, mold growth, and improving the air quality by sealing your crawl space, your Cary home’s living quality will improve with clean air in the living quarters.

Customer Reviews

Excellent Experience From Start To Finish

Excellent experience from start to finish. The owner came out to quote the work and to do an assessment. He took his time to explain everything in detail to me of the benefits of the different levels of encapsulation. He made his recommendation based off of my home and not just the highest price service. Upfront, honest, and great follow through. Cannot ask for much more. Also price was comparable to other quotes but the quality of work was FAR BETTER when I looked at photos of other folks and they have a custom process that no one else uses to also vent under the plastic!

My Builder Was So Impressed

I was having some moisture issues in my basement. I had three companies come out before Jason. They all wanted to do the same thing which was dig up all the yard around my house and re-apply a new membrane. I would have sold my house and moved away before I paid what they were asking.
Anyhow, Jason came in and gave a thorough explanation of what his plan was, why the older methods only work short term, and how he completely guarantees all of his work. It wasn't cheap but it was small potatoes compared to what the other folks wanted to do.
Additionally, my builder was so impressed with what Jason and his team had done they wanted a bunch of business cards for other clients.

Very Professional & Responsive

Very professional and responsive. They coordinated everything, including city permit inspection and electrician. They cleaned up everything and were great at explaining what needed to be done and then what was done. Great to see there's still some excellent, reputable local businesses out there who provide exceptional service.

Pleased With The Results

We utilized Crawl space and basement tech to encapsulate our new home before any damage could be done. They were not only competitively priced, but very knowledgeable and professional. We used the other guys in our last home and we now know what is truly expected and are pleased with the results.

Raymond J.

Thank You

We have had dampness in our crawl space for years. We had done the typical thing by applying plastic initially on our own & had some help from another company, but it never seemed right. Our neighbor had used Crawlspace & Basement Technologies & was so pleased with the results.
Jason Mullins, the owner, came to our home, assessed our space & gave his recommendations. He was very personable but informative & thorough with his explanations. We felt confident choosing him & did not seek a second opinion.
Everyone involved with getting the job done, from the office to the guys doing the work were great.
My husband & I thank you!

Becky M.

So Impressed!

Jason drew me pictures, showed me diagrams and provided a thorough explanation and education about what needed to be done and how he would recommend doing it.

I was so impressed with him and the company's services that I hired him on the spot and canceled my other appointment. They began work almost immediately, and everyone with whom I came into contact was efficient and friendly and clearly wanted me to be happy with the results.

It's a great feeling to do business with a company that takes such pride in its work and believes in giving value to customers.
