A damp crawl space can lead to a number of health issues, and this moisture can also lead to structural damage of your home. In New Jersey, instances of flooding along with high humidity levels create an environment perfect for mold to grow. This can lead to health issues, especially for those with asthma or other respiratory illnesses. In addition, moisture in the crawl space of your home can lead to wood and joist rot as well as pest problems.
At Ideal Basement Waterproofing, our professional staff will dry out your crawl space and install a system that is best for your needs. You may have problems with moisture in your crawl space if you experience any of the following:
Encapsulation systems include sealing basement vents to prevent additional moisture from intruding and installing a liner over the floors and walls of the crawl space. Our professional staff will use a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture. After the crawl space is sealed, moisture cannot enter the area, effectively stopping the growth of mold.
Installing a crawl space system will help you avoid mold growth and wood rot, provide a healthy living environment, and save money on your utility bills. Contact us at Ideal Basement Waterproofing today for all your crawl space system needs!
