Nashville, Murfreesboro, Knoxville and Chattanooga TN
A recent survey found that 14-15% of homes in the United States have a crawl space. Is your home one of them? It can be easy to neglect the crawl space in your home, but without proper care and maintenance, this area of your property can cause significant problems. You can avoid a host of issues by having your crawl space encapsulated by a qualified, experienced professional like the ones on our team at Ameri Care Services.
Reason 1: Reduce your utility costs
Encapsulating your crawl space seals it off from the elements and also provides an additional layer of insulation. This helps regulate the temperature inside your home, throughout the year.
Reason 2: Avoid mold growth
Mold can damage your property and pose health risks to your loved ones, especially if they already suffer from respiratory conditions such as asthma or allergies. Encapsulating your crawl space creates a barrier that is impervious to moisture, thus denying the growth of mold.
Reason 3: Deter pests
Insects and rodents seek out a warm place to shelter, especially during the winter. Your crawl space can fill the bill. By encapsulating your crawl space, and closing it off, you prevent pests from setting up shop in this area and potentially infiltrating into other areas in your home.
Reason 4: Improve property value
If you are looking to sell your home, you probably will have it appraised and later inspected. A problematic crawl space can make your home less attractive on the market or even pose a problem during inspection before the transaction closes. If your crawl space is already encapsulated, it offers potential buyers peace of mind and can increase your asking price as well.
Reason 5: Improve air quality
Your crawl space has a major influence on the quality of air inside your home. By sealing the space through encapsulation, you can keep potentially harmful particulates from mixing into the air, while also sealing out any possible toxins in the air around you. Improving the indoor air quality in your home can have a host of health benefits, bettering your quality of sleep, lowering the prevalence of allergy attacks and more.
Reason 6: Protect your flooring
Does your home have wooden floors? These can be a great feature but they can be ruined by a damp crawl space. The infiltration of moisture from the crawl space can warp, buckle or even rot hardwood floors. Crawl space encapsulation prevents moisture in the crawl space from affecting wooden floors.
