Clarksville, TN Crawlspace Encapsulation, Waterproofing and Repair

The crawlspace encapsulation process is a process that is done to your crawl space to prevent mold formation from happening in your crawl space. In this process you are creating an envelope or pocket of air that will keep all water, air, and mold from the outside from coming into your crawl space at all. Basically, you are sealing off your crawl space as if it never existed in the first place. The start of this process first starts with removing any kind of water that is already in the area. All standing water in the crawl space needs to be vacuumed away, and all water vapor needs to be sucked out of the air with either rented, or owned, dehumidifying unit. Only after the entire crawl space is completely bone dry can we move to the next part of the process: the vapor barrier. A vapor barrier can either be a cement floor, or more commonly, a sheet of plastic that is vacuum sealed to the ground of your crawl space to keep all groundwater out of the crawl space so that it can’t do damage to the rest of your home.
The plastic sheet option is usually the better option to go with because it is more cost effective in the home, but if you are curious if a cement flooring option would be a better route for you and your home, then you could talk with our teams of professionals about your situation and the home that you currently reside in. Vapor barriers that use the plastic sheet method can vary in thickness depending on what the homeowner wants to have in their crawl space. The thicker that the plastic is, the more coverage you are going to have of course. After you have talked it over with your team and have decided on the coverage that you would like to have in your home, then the repair team will seal the plastic into place. This will keep the chances of flooding due to overflowing groundwater to a minimum.

How Much for Crawl Space Repair?​

After the vapor barrier is put down on the floor, then the next step is to fill in any possible openings that are around the foundation of the crawl space. That means that some kind of thermal insulation will be installed into the cracks of your crawl space to keep the air and water from seeping in from the outside. One of the most effective kinds of thermal insulation of this job is the foaming polyurethane insulation that hardens and doesn’t allow any kind of material to pass through it. No matter what kind of thermal insulation that you choose to have installed in your home, you can be confident that you are keeping any kind of water or air from coming into the space at all. Now that the thermal insulation is put into place, you can then move onto the last step of the encapsulation process, which is creating the final envelope that will keep all air and water from moving in or out of the crawl space. Basically, you are vacuum sealing the area shut, and not allowing any kind of movement to come or go through the area. After this envelope is created, there is no way for you to have air come in our out of your crawl space, and no way for you to get in the area without breaking the seal. 

​The sealing process in crawl spaces is actually a lot like the encapsulation process. In fact, it is the exact same except for the last step in the cycle. Of course you start with removing the water, then putting the vapor barrier of some kind into place. Once those are taken care of, some kind of insulation is put into place, and then the entire job is done. This kind of crawl space care allows you to use the crawl space as an extra storage place in your home to clear out unneeded clutter in the storage closets in your home.
