Crawl Space Encapsulation in South Dakota

Many homeowners experience moisture problems in their basements. If you have similar problems, Rapid Foundation Repair has a solution. We offer prime services, such as 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 your crawl space encapsulated with a vapor-retardant material that will prevent structural problems. Crawl space encapsulation will keep mold from growing, reducing the number of air pollutants and allergens in your home. A water-repelling vapor barrier will also keep vapor from escaping into the exterior walls and condensing back into a liquid, causing 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 getting into places that it is not meant to be. 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 into the exterior walls of a home. A vapor barrier from Rapid Foundation Repair can stop this from happening. Because we are serious about the health of your home, we use only top-quality materials manufactured by Earth Contact Products (ECP).
