Many homeowners may not be aware of, or concerned with, the importance of keeping their crawl space in good condition, free of moisture and open exposures to the outside. After all, out of sight, out of mind. Right?
But, without proper maintenance, like stopping water leaks from coming in, your crawl space can quickly become saturated with moisture, causing wood floor joists to rot and compromise the structural integrity of your entire home. Moisture can also turn your crawl space into a petri dish for mold growth and potentially trigger a variety of health problems for your family.
And what about termites? Yikes! Yep, termites. Running a close second right behind water damage are termites as a homeowner’s worst nightmare. The moisture and saturated wood floor joists in crawl spaces beckon termites like moths to a flame, not to mention attracting other unwanted insects and critters seeking to make your crawl space their new home. Also, the life cycle of bugs and other pests that have made their way inside your crawl space can have an added impact on the indoor air quality of your home.
Symptoms of a Crawl Space Problem
- Drywall cracks inside your home
- Uneven and sloping floors
- Musty odors
- Mold growth
- Noticeable termite damage
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Encapsulating your crawl space seals the area off from any moisture, humidity or unwanted critters. Our systems allow us to tailor every installation based on the needs of your home, from installing vapor and moisture barriers to drainage matting, drains, dehumidifiers, sump pumps and much more. We work with high-quality crawl space liners and vapor barriers to ensure that the area underneath your home stays protected for many years to come.
Crawl Space Cleanup
If you have noticed any mold, musty odors or sagging and sinking floors in your home, we recommend that you get in touch with Bix Basement Systems as soon as possible. In addition to sealing your crawl space, we also provide the following cleanup services:
- Crawl space sealing and insulation installation
- Removal of rotting, decaying materials and debris
- Structural repair and replacement
- Leveling of sagging and sinking crawl space floors
Crawl Space Insulation
Bix Basement Systems also provides affordable and effective crawl space insulation for the wall and floor surfaces of this area underneath your home. We have two different types of insulation – both have been thoroughly tested and proven effective at insulating crawl spaces, keeping your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Insulating your crawl space will also help you save money on your monthly energy bills since your air conditioner and furnace won’t need to work as hard to keep your home comfortable.
We have a team of trained, knowledgeable crawl space professionals who will be able to help you with all of your crawl space problems. Most homeowners are surprised by just how big of an impact a clean crawl space can have on their health and on the energy efficiency of their home.
