What Does The Process Look Like?

1. Inspect the Crawl Space

Carefully inspect the property in search of any existing signs of damage, deterioration, or potential issues such as water incursion and drainage problems.

2) Seal off the Area From Outside Air and Moisture by Installing a Vapor Barrier on the Walls and Floors

This vapor barrier will act as a protective layer against moisture damage and provide an additional layer of insulation.

3) Insulation Can Be Installed on the Walls and Ceilings

To reduce heat loss during colder months and keep the interior temperature more consistent. Insulation also acts as another layer of protection against moisture damage.

4) Additional Materials Such as Drainage Matting or Waterproofing Membranes

To further protect against moisture damage in case of unexpected flooding or water seepage problems in the future. Lastly, vents can be installed if needed in order to maintain proper airflow through the area and help prevent humidity buildup which can cause mold growth over time if left unchecked.
