Although the crawlspace is far from the most glamorous part of your home or business, it is nevertheless a very important one. Failing to maintain this part of your building can lead to moisture problems, but fortunately, our team at AdvantaClean of Cabarrus and Rowan Counties is here to help you with all your maintenance needs. Whether you have noticed moisture in your crawlspace already or want to prevent it from getting in, simply give us a call to learn more about how we can help. In this article, we’ll go over a few steps you can take to deal with moisture in the crawlspace.
- Use a Sump Pump – One way to deal with moisture in a crawlspace is to install a sump pump. Essentially, our team will install a pump in a hollow below the lowest point in your crawlspace. Then, all the moisture will drain into the hollow, where the pump will then pump it back out.
- Install a Vapor Barrier – Another strategy we use to deal with moisture in the crawlspace is to install vapor barriers. This process is known as crawlspace encapsulation. Our team offers both full and partial crawlspace encapsulation, so we can cover every part of your crawlspace with waterproof sheeting, or just the part most prone to moisture problems.
- Use Dehumidifiers – A third tool we use to get rid of moisture in the crawlspace is dehumidifiers. These devices are designed to remove moisture from the air, which prevents condensation and protects your crawlspace from the damaging effects of dampness.
