Crawl space encapsulation
Do you need crawl space encapsulation? Here's what you need to look out for...
What You See:
Moisture Accumulation: Visible signs of moisture, such as dampness, condensation, or standing water in your crawl space, indicate a need for encapsulation to prevent mold and structural damage.
Musty Odors: Persistent musty smells emanating from your crawl space can signify mold or mildew growth due to excess moisture.
Pest Infestation: Frequent occurrences of pests, such as insects or rodents, in your crawl space suggest that it is not properly sealed.
Cold Floors Above: If the floors above your crawl space are unusually cold, it may be a sign that the area lacks proper insulation and encapsulation.
High Energy Bills: Inadequate insulation in your crawl space can lead to increased heating and cooling costs, indicating a need for encapsulation to improve energy efficiency.
Sagging Floors: Uneven or sagging floors above the crawl space may indicate structural issues caused by moisture and poor support, which can be addressed through encapsulation.

How it Works...
Moisture Barrier Installation
The Keystone KC team will thoroughly clean and prepare your crawl space before installing a high-quality vapor barrier. This barrier is securely fastened to the walls and floor, effectively sealing out ground moisture.
Insulation and Sealing
All vents and gaps are sealed to prevent air and moisture infiltration, ensuring a controlled environment. While not always necessary we can add insulation to the crawlspace to enhance the comfort of your home.
