Before And After Photos
At Southern Goodman Mechanical, we’ve seen our share of scary crawl spaces. A consistently damp crawl space can become a breeding ground for dangerous mold spores, poor indoor air quality, and structural damage to your home. Drafty, uninsulated crawl spaces can also increase your heating and cooling costs.
If you have a vented dirt floor crawl space, here are just a few of the problems you may encounter:
- Mold (high humidity)
- Poor indoor air quality
- Wood rot
- Musty smells
- Insects
- Rodents
- Dust
- AC/heat system damage
- Pipe damage
Fortunately, many of these crawl space problems can be solved with crawl space repair.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Southern Goodman Mechanical is the local crawl space contractor in Richmond, Virginia. We know that the best way to fix crawl space issues in your home or office is through encapsulation. Here’s how our crawl space encapsulation process works:
- First, we install a heavy-duty plastic liner, which will seal both ground and foundation walls to block moisture from entering your crawl space.
- Then, we seal off the outside vents to prevent unconditioned air from entering the crawl space.
- Finally, we monitor and correct your crawl space relative humidity levels to ensure that your crawl space is dry and protected.
