A crawl space is essentially a small basement beneath the first floor, just large enough to hold electrical wiring and other necessities. In homes with crawlspaces, the living area is so close to the crawl space that moisture and unsafe air infiltrate the home, causing potential health hazards.
More than 40% of the air that you breathe on the first floor of your home comes directly from the basement or crawl space. If that air is moldy, musty, and unclean, the same will be true of the air quality inside your home. To remedy the situation, crawl space waterproofing and crawl space encapsulation are essential to your family's health. Innovative Restoration provides a number of crawl space related services in Knoxville & Tallassee, TN.
At Innovative Restorations, we help our customers by getting to the root of the problem. Some of our most popular services include:
To remove standing water from your crawl space, install a drainage system prior to the encapsulation process. The system connects to our sump-pump liner and we install a sump pump to remove water from your crawl space.
Because most crawl spaces were vented under antiquated building codes, we make sure to seal any vents or areas through which outside air can enter. We have crawl-space vent covers to repair this issue.
To enhance drainage in the crawl space, plastic material is placed on high footings or concrete floors.
By installing a crawl-space encapsulation system to eliminate vapors and odors rising from the ground, we seal the crawl space and create a layer of protection between the dirt floor and your living space. This lowers utility bills and makes the living space more comfortable.
After the area is sealed, the moisture level will be lowered below 50%, using our high-efficiency dehumidification systems.
