Crawl Space Encapsulation in Concord, Hayward, Oakland, Pleasant Hills, San Lorenzo, Walnut Creek, and Nearby Cities
Does your Concord, Hayward, Oakland, Pleasant Hills, San Lorenzo, Walnut Creek, or surrounding area home have a crawl space underneath it? If so, then you should look into crawl space encapsulation from AirCom to help protect your home as well as your health. A crawl space is a small space under your home that you literally have to crawl in to move around (unless you are lucky to have a much taller space). Homes are built like this to save on the costs of pouring a concrete slab or building a full basement. It also allows the space to have access to the outside air. But these spaces can also harbor moisture in higher levels than are appropriate, and that’s where crawl space encapsulation can solve many issues. Talk with the team at AirCom to learn more and have them come out to inspect your crawl space.
Why Have Crawl Space Encapsulation?
Because the crawl space under your home isn’t kept at the same temperature as your home, it can cause condensation to form, which leads to mold and other damaging issues to your home as well as your health. A good portion of the air in your home that is in circulation comes from your crawl space, and if there is mildew or other fungi in the crawl space, it will affect the health of the air and the breathing of everyone in the home. Of course, insects, rot, animals, and other issues can also be a problem in your crawl space.
With crawl space encapsulation you will keep out moisture and water, which can lead to a host of problems both for your home as well as everyone’s health living in the home. By sealing up the crawl space you keep out pests as well who would want to make their home underneath your home. With the crawl space sealed up, it will also have a temperature much closer to the temperature in your home, and this will make your floors warmer because you aren’t losing heat like you were before crawl space encapsulation.
Benefits To Crawl Space Encapsulation
