No basement? Don’t neglect your crawl space, where dampness and humidity can build up and cause damage and musty odors in your home. In addition to basement waterproofing, we also offer crawl space encapsulation. Most crawl spaces are dirt or gravel floors that are easily penetrated by groundwater, leading to damaging crawl space moisture levels. Not only does the humidity lead to structural damage and wood rot, but it can also make your entire home less efficient because humid air is difficult to condition. The crawl space encapsulation process involves sealing the concrete walls and dirt floor of your crawl space with a vapor barrier, then installing a sump pump drainage system to direct groundwater out and away from your home. With crawl space encapsulation from the experts at USS Illinois, you’ll enjoy additional storage space, improved energy efficiency, and peace of mind!
