Professional crawl space encapsulation in Toledo involves lining the area with a polyethylene tarp that keeps moisture and rodents away. Encapsulation is a permanent solution because it seals up the crawl space making it unusable. This is a great option for homeowners who have tried everything to keep their crawl space dry to no avail. Benefits include:

• Decreases heating & cooling bills
• Reduces the chance of developing mildew/mold
• Keeps out vermin
• Improves indoor air quality
• Reinforces structural integrity

If you've tried everything to keep your crawl space dry and nothing has worked, encapsulation might be a good fit for your home. Would you like to know more about this service and how sealing off your crawl space works? Please check out our blog for more information.

Vapor barriers for crawl spaces in Toledo are a bit different than complete encapsulation. They essentially do the exact same thing but leave the entrance to the crawl space open so the area can still be used for storage. A vapor barrier might be the right choice for you if you need:

• Moisture levels to be controlled
• Decrease in structural damage
• Temperature levels maintained
• Reduction in energy costs
• Protection of pipes

In most cases, a partial encapsulation works well for most homeowners and allows them to have the best of both worlds. You get all of the benefits of tarping the area with a thick polyethylene barrier, and your space remains fully functional.
