Encapsulation Process for Crawl Spaces in Portsmouth

Our Process

Our crawl space encapsulation process starts with identifying existing problems and how to remediate them for a healthier crawl space. This includes:

• Inspection & Evaluation: Certified specialists perform a detailed assessment, inspecting the current state of your crawl space. Northeast Basement Solutions offers a FREE crawl space evaluation, covering everything from A to Z.
• Debris Removal: Your crawl space may be filled with torn or water-damaged insulation, rodents, and critters, as well as their waste. We remove all these and more including mold, mildew, or fungus from wooden structures.
• Control Water in Crawl Space: If you have water in your crawl space due to a leak or other problems, you need to install a drainage system & sump pump actively channel the water away from your home.

• Prevent Moisture Using a Vapor Barrier: Moisture entry is harmful to your crawl space. We install a powerful vapor barrier that blocks humid, moist air from entering via the ground or the crawl space walls.
• Crawl Space Sealing: Outside air brings in moisture in your crawl space. Hence, we seal off any vents leading outside with insulation, as well as any leaks around piping & wiring to ensure a closed environment.
• Keeping the Crawl Space Dry: The final step includes using a dehumidifier to control the moisture in the crawl space. The dehumidification system soaks up the water vapor & leaves dry air to circulate your home, eliminating wet crawl space problems.
