Question 1

Why is crawl space encapsulation necessary in BC?

Accepted Answer

BC's wet climate causes high moisture levels in unsealed crawl spaces, leading to mold, wood rot, and poor indoor air quality. Encapsulation seals out this moisture, protecting your home's structure and your family's health.

Question 2

How long does the encapsulation process take?

Accepted Answer

Most crawl space encapsulation projects can be completed in 2 to 4 days, depending on the size of the space and the extent of any necessary repairs or remediation. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily life.

Question 3

Will encapsulation help lower my energy bills?

Accepted Answer

Yes, significantly. By sealing air leaks and adding proper insulation to the foundation walls, encapsulation reduces heat loss, making your HVAC system run more efficiently and lowering your monthly energy costs.

Question 4

Do I need a dehumidifier if I have a vapor barrier?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. While a vapor barrier stops ground moisture, a commercial-grade dehumidifier is often needed to control humidity from the air and prevent condensation, ensuring the space remains completely dry.
