Encapsulation and Coatings Improve Conditions in Basements and Crawlspaces to Combat Water Damage

Easily rid your home of wet, muddy cinder block walls and standing water that leads to mold or other issues that take their toll on your living environment. Constant moisture problems found in your home’s crawlspace can be corrected using encapsulation services available at your local SERVPRO. For a finished basement, a waterproof coating applied to the exterior, above and below the grade level, can be of great benefit to combat moisture intrusions.

Through the installation of basement waterproofing, you can better protect your Nashville-area property. Protect the structural integrity of your home and increase your indoor air quality using IICRC certified technicians with years of experience.  
 
Originally your home builder designed your crawl space to maintain somewhat of a ventilated space. However, the ventilation installed is far from adequate, leading to a buildup of the conditions that cause the problems you are dealing with today.  
 
Crawl spaces are humid, dark spaces that allow mold to grow, wood to rot, and bad air to stagnate, contributing to higher energy costs, unnecessary home repairs, and even health problems. Basement waterproofing presents you with an opportunity to keep unwanted moisture away from your home, reducing complications that arise over time.  
 
Expertly trained SERVPRO technicians take the time to clean each surface found in your crawlspace, eliminating moisture and balancing the relative humidity levels under your home. Our skilled technicians remove any excess water and scrape away water-damaged insulation. We utilize portable dehumidifiers and even Santa Fe 2 unit types to capture any remaining moisture.
 
SERVPRO technicians help isolate the structural components of your home from the effects of high humidity, using vapor barriers and Crawlguard liners to mitigate moisture infiltration. With a full crawlspace encapsulation, vapor barriers cover the entire area, including columns, piers, and ground soil. Providing you with a permanent solution to dampness and humidity problems that often occur.
 
The old vents that once led to the outside of your home no longer present a problem, solving rodent and pest infestation issues, mold problems, and structural problems that often develop for many homeowners.
