Encapsulation Solution in Camano Island, WA

Water issues are costly and persistent, to truly deal with water, a solution needs to be put into place that is built for the wet environment. This is where a full encapsulation comes in. Simple black vapor barriers only provide a short term band-aid approach, and fiberglass insulation only works until water condensates and is absorbed into it. This homes crawl space would benefit from a real solution, as their fiberglass was in poor condition and the vapor barrier below would shift out of place and needed consistent replacement. To address the space, we installed our encapsulation solution. This uses a full drain system with sump pump to collect and direct the water away from the foundation. We seal the crawl space off from environmental factors and insulate utilizing solutions along the dirt floor and foundation walls. This brings the crawl space into the homes environment so that the home is able to stay more comfortable all year round. We than use a 20 Mil vapor barrier with a woven fiber through it to made it durable, even backing the product with a 25 year warranty against rips and tears. And the final piece to the system is a dehumidifier to ensure the spaces relative humidity is properly addressed so the space remains healthy. Now this crawl space is set up for success and the owners can benefit from a healthier home.
