How Can We Help?
Poor drainage is usually the culprit
Water should be diverted away from your home, not towards it. Our drainage services and sump pump installations remedy the problem.
Crawlspace encapsulation is a comprehensive solution that takes the often neglected area beneath your home and turns it into a controlled and well-maintained space. Armed with the best techniques and premium materials, our team at Allied Waterproofing & Septic can fully encapsulate your crawl space, sealing it off from external elements to keep it dry.
This process involves sealing off your crawl space using specialized materials like vapor barriers, insulation, and proper sealing products. By creating a barrier against external elements, encapsulation effectively prevents moisture, pests, and other factors from infiltrating the space, resulting in a dry, clean, and healthy environment.
Beyond its primary purpose of moisture management, crawlspace encapsulation offers other advantages. Improved indoor air quality is one such benefit, as encapsulation reduces the entry of allergens and pollutants that could otherwise infiltrate through the crawl space. Additionally, encapsulation increases energy efficiency by creating a well-insulated and sealed environment that helps maintain consistent temperatures throughout your home.

Assessment and Preparation:
A critical component of crawl space encapsulation is the installation of a vapor barrier. This involves completely covering the walls and floor with a heavy-duty plastic liner, creating an impermeable seal that blocks moisture from the ground and surrounding walls. This barrier prevents dampness and water vapor from seeping into the crawl space, significantly reducing the risk of mold and mildew growth.
Installing a sump pump is essential for crawl spaces prone to water accumulation. The sump pump collects and removes water infiltrating the area, automatically pumping it out to a designated drainage area away from your home. This proactive measure ensures that any potential water intrusion is swiftly managed, maintaining a dry environment.
Insulating the crawl space is another crucial step in encapsulation. We use high-quality insulation materials to line the walls, improving energy efficiency by minimizing temperature fluctuations and drafts.
Finally, we seal off all vents and openings to prevent outside air from entering the crawl space. This step is vital for maintaining stable humidity and temperature levels within the space. Additionally, we assess the need for proper ventilation systems to ensure air circulation is optimized, further enhancing air quality and preventing musty odors.
The EZ Breathe System is a high-efficiency ventilation solution that continuously circulates fresh air throughout your crawl space. Ventilating this area effectively manages humidity and improves overall air quality.Even with encapsulation, moisture can still become trapped, leading to musty odors, condensation, and mold growth.
The EZ Breathe System addresses this by drawing out damp air and replacing it with fresh, dry air, thus improving air quality and reducing mold and allergens. Combined with encapsulation, it creates a dry, safe, and healthy environment for your family.
Our dedication to water management goes beyond crawlspace encapsulation. We provide other effective solutions that include drainage systems, sump pump installations, and vapor barrier implementation to effectively tackle moisture intrusion in your crawl space.
