Protect Your Crawl Space From Moisture Build-Up

Moisture build-up in your Chapel Hill crawl space is the reason for that musty air that you smell and even feel. This is the same air you are breathing in your living area. According to the EPA, approximately 60% of all the air in your homes first floor has traveled from the crawl space through cracks in the floor and the HVAC system. This happens because your crawl space is under negative pressure, which pulls the air into the home.

Once summer arrives, the negative pressure pulls the hot and humid air into your Chapel Hill crawl space. Once inside, condensation begins to sets in. This environment is the perfect breeding ground for microbial activity, rodents and pests. A full crawl space encapsulation is the only permanent way to reduce the moisture buildup and extend the life of your home. Crawl Space & Basement Technologies will address and eliminate the sources of moisture and create a sealed, dry space under your home that will last a lifetime.

How can you solve this problem? Call Crawl Space and Basement Technologies to completely seal and encapsulate your crawl space!

8 Reasons Why You Need to Seal and Encapsulate Your Chapel Hill Crawl Space

1. Eliminate the vapor transmission from your crawl space. Remove the more than 60% of unhealthy air that comes from the crawl space. Failing to seal and encapsulate your crawl space, you are allowing “dirty” unfiltered air entry into the rest of your home.

2. Get control of humidity within your home. Foundation vents allow hot, humid air entry into your homes crawl space. Once in the crawl space, the air can gain entry into the living space of your house. The American Lung Association, American Medical Association, and the EPA recommend keeping relative humidity from 30%-50%.

3. Clean and dry environment. Prevent growth by removing all the moisture that helps unhealthy microbes to grow on organic material like wood and the paper backing on insulation. A crawl space encapsulation will seal the area with non-organic material, which reduces surface for continued growth.

4. Odor elimination. Avoid musty, stale odors by removing moisture in your home’s crawl space.

5. Prevent insect and rodent infestation. A damp environment is a perfect habitat for pests to nest. Prevent moisture build-up by sealing that open crawl space.

6. Save money! Reduce your heating and cooling bills by up to 15% annually from a Chapel Hill crawl space encapsulation. Reduced HVAC efficiency due to foundation vents can make your energy bill skyrocket in peak months. During Winter and Summer, the vents allow extreme temperatures to cause your system to struggle. Avoid over-stressing your unit and increase the longevity of your system by sealing the crawl space.

7. Protect your homes structural integrity. The ground below your home contains a massive amount of moisture. This moisture will enter your home through an exposed crawl space vent, static pressure as water vapor and may even become puddled water. The natural dark and dank conditions of a non encapsulated crawl space, mixed with moisture will create a noxious, destructive environment. Keep your home secure and stable by removing harmful moisture from your crawl space.

8. Peace of mind! Rest and breathe easier with a clean Chapel Hill crawl space encapsulation. The air in your home, your heating and cooling bills and your home’s value will all benefit from a crawl space encapsulation from our expert professionals.

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.

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.

One of the Best

"Your company was one of the only ones in the Triangle who was able to tell me how the job would be done that would meet NC Building codes and what the current industry methods/materials are. I did a lot of research..I know what I am talking about and would recommend Jason’s company to anyone needing encapsulation"

Keeps Things Clean

"Your company is very professional. Most companies do not clean up after themselves, so the homeowner has to do it! Your guys left the area very clean. Don’t let your sales rep go. He is very knowledgeable! Great Job! We have given your information to our neighbors, so I am sure we will be seeing you next door very soon"
