Crawl Space Repair Test
Damp, dark crawl spaces are the perfect breeding ground for foul odors. Pests, mold, and rotting structural components can leave your home smelling less like a clean haven for your family, and more like a hole in the ground. A dry, encapsulated crawl space will rid you of foul odors permanently.
Over time, moisture in your crawl space can lead to sagging, buckling, and even collapsing floors as wooden components rot and concrete cracks. Crawl space repairs from Adirondack Basement Systems ensure the long term health of your home from the bottom up, simultaneously shoring up your home's future market value.
With as much as half of the air in your home coming from the crawl space, it's essential that it's protected from moisture. If your crawl space is vented or unsealed, it's very likely that moisture has seeped into the crawl space, releasing mold, dust, and other indoor air contaminants into the rest of your home.
Open crawl space vents or poor crawl space insulation can allow heating or cooling to leak out of your floors during the winter and summer months. The resulting effect is an overworked HVAC system, which can raise your energy bill by a significant percentage. Proper insulation ensures you only use the energy you need, saving you hundreds each year.

If you've noticed increased allergy or asthma flare-ups, chances are, your crawl space is the reason. Your crawl space provides a breeding ground for mold and mildew, indoor air pollutants that cause runny noses, sneezing, itching, headaches, fatigue, and a host of other symptoms. Air from your crawl space then travels up through the rest of your home, affecting indoor air quality.
The best way to keep your crawl space healthy is to install a comprehensive crawl space waterproofing and encapsulation system. Our state-of-the-art crawl space solution comes with perimeter drainage, drainage matting, a sump pump, and a dehumidifier. This combination has proven effective at keeping homeowners' crawl spaces dry for a lifetime and has been used in thousands of homes throughout the United States and beyond.
Poor indoor air quality in your crawl space is due to excess moisture, mold growth, and other contaminants. Air pollutants from your crawl space are transported to the rest of your home. To improve air quality in your crawl space and therefore your entire home, we recommend installing a complete crawl space encapsulation system. A proper encapsulation system will help maintain a stable humidity level in your crawl space and ensure that it stays clean.
Maintaining relative humidity levels is essential because it ensures that mold and mildew don't grow and affect your home's air quality.
