Crawl space encapsulation is a common method for controlling water in your crawl space. Crawl space encapsulation involved closing off the area under your house to prevent water and moisture damage. Lastly, crawl space encapsulation can be referred to as "sealed crawlspace" or "closed crawl space."

Our waterproofing team focuses on controlling groundwater, ground moisture, and humidity.

Humid air in the crawl space leads to mold, termites, wood rot, and musty smells. Controlling air moisture under the home is key to having a dry, healthy basement. As air moves through your house via the "stack effect, " new air is drawn in from outside through the doors, windows, and other loosely sealed areas. When it's raining or humid, wet air is brought into the crawl space through the vents and rises back up, causing decay in the crawl space and moist air in the house. At Dry Otter, we have the best solutions to help you solve your humidity problem.

When entering the pump basin, water triggers the pump float switch, and the pan pumps the water through a discharge pipe. If the device cannot handle the amount of water or the sump fails for any reason, water overflows into the basement or crawl space. Overflowing water can create mold, ruin valuable items, or threaten a home's structural integrity. Luckily, Dry Otter can install a proper sump pump system to collect water from the drain system. Our sump pumps include a closed lid or cover to help reduce noise and odors.

Crawl space waterproofing involves keeping the area under your house dry from water seepage and humidity. Water damage to your home causes large repair bills or loss of property value. A buyer isn't going to want a home with rotted wood, a sinking foundation, musty odors, or toxic mold. At Dry Otter Waterproofing, our first step in waterproofing a crawl space is controlling groundwater both from a surface level and below-grade seepage. Homeowners can hire professional landscapers, yard maintenance companies, and can even use do-it-yourself techniques to improve surface-level water.

A crawl space is a common type of foundation for a home. During the building process, footings are dug and poured with concrete. Then concrete blocks are used to create the structure or foundation which supports your house. Therefore, crawl spaces are a crucial aspect of your home, and keeping them dry and safe is vital. However, a crawl space is also often a perfect place for humidity, mold, and pests to enter. Furthermore, crawl space water and moisture can lead to many problems within your home.

Finished or not, you'll want your basement to remain nice and dry. A finished basement can house valuable items such as pool tables, home theater systems, and the like. Whereas an unfinished basement still contains an assortment of mechanical systems which cannot become wet. If you are noticing signs of moisture or water damage in your basement, basement waterproofing may be necessary. A water or humidity issue in your basement puts the rest of your home at risk, as well. Water damage can also cause much more serious problems.
