Crawl Space Encapsulation in South Dakota

We offer premium services, including vapor barriers and crawl space encapsulation. For all things related to waterproofing or foundation repair, choose Rapid Foundation Repair.

Although some areas still permit a vented, dirt-floored crawl space, the better option is to have it encapsulated with a vapor-retardant material to prevent structural problems. Crawl space encapsulation will prevent mold growth, reducing the number of air pollutants and allergens in your home. A water-repelling vapor barrier will also prevent vapor from escaping into exterior walls and condensing back into a liquid, which can cause many structural problems, such as dry rot or mold. Crawl spaces that contain fiberglass insulation are also a mold hazard and should be sealed with a vapor barrier from Rapid Foundation Repair.

 Vapor Barrier and Crawl Space Encapsulation Solutions

A water-retardant vapor barrier, such as a plastic or foil sheet, will keep water from entering areas where it is not intended. Since there are many ways a home generates moisture vapor – cooking, showering, house plants, even breathing – there can often be quite a bit of excess water vapor in the air. Sometimes, due to the temperature and high pressure in a home, this water vapor is pushed toward the ceiling and walls, where it can escape through the exterior walls. A vapor barrier from Rapid Foundation Repair can stop this from happening. Because we are serious about your home’s health, we use only top-quality materials manufactured by Earth Contact Products (ECP).
