Expert Crawl Space Encapsulation for Northbrook, IL, Homeowners
For many Northbrook, Illinois, homeowners, crawl spaces are out of sight and out of mind—at least until a problem arises. If your home has a dirt or gravel base and an unencapsulated crawl space, you might encounter issues like musty smells or cold drafts emanating from beneath your floors, high humidity and visible moisture or standing water in your crawl space, or moldy or rotten wood in your joists or floors. If any of these problems sound familiar, turn to Alliance Restoration for professional crawl space encapsulation.
Why is Crawl Space Encapsulation Important?
Crawl space encapsulation offers several benefits. It will:
- Help prevent pest infestation – An encapsulation system helps keep your crawl space dry, which means that it’s less attractive to pests like termites.
- Improve air quality in your home – The soil under your home may release gasses that can be harmful to breathe. An encapsulation system can help reduce these fumes.
- Hinder mold growth and rot – Eliminating standing water under your home will substantially reduce mold growth and rot both in the crawl space and on the structural elements of your house.
- Improve your home’s energy efficiency – Encapsulating your crawl space keeps the area drier and warmer, which means you won’t experience those cold drafts coming through your floors. This can even translate to lower monthly energy costs since your system won’t have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
