Don’t Use Fiberglass Between Floor Joists: Unless you’ve chosen NOT to seal and dehumidify or conditioned your crawl space, you shouldn’t use fiberglass. Actually, it may be a good idea to avoid using fiberglass at all. The material performs poorly when it comes to crawl space insulation. When the material is installed in an unconditioned, vented space, the results are minimal. Why? Because the material soaks moisture, losing its R-value in the process. That makes it useless as an encapsulation material. Fiberglass also sags due to the weight of the water, opening holes in the encapsulation blanket.
Water intrusion is bad for your home. If not corrected, it can lead to costly repairs to your foundation and home.

Cleaning out your crawl space is important to your health. Georgia crawl spaces are typically humid, full of debris and dirt. Up to 60% of the air in your home comes from your crawlspace! During the cleaning process, we will be careful not to dispose of any items you’d like to keep. The cleaning process also is safe for pets and children. Once cleaned, we recommend adding a sanitization treatment to disinfect the crawl space from germs and improve pest control.
Crawl Space Encapsulation is a long term solution to many crawlspace problems, such as mold and moisture. This typically involves covering the foundation pillars, walls and ground with plastic and then sealing everything up to prevent air leaks. Our premium vapor barriers come in multiple thickness levels. Sometimes a dehumidifier is needed to remove the excess moisture on a regular basis. During your initial inspection, we’ll gather the data necessary to complete your quote and offer any advice on what else might be needed. Examples could be mold treatment, a new access door, insulation replacement, further waterproofing and/or a drainage system. Find extra details at https://www.atlantacrawlspace.com/.
Don’t Overlook the Importance of a Drainage System: Some homeowners assume that encapsulations will keep water out of their crawl space, and they don’t need a drainage system. The mistake with doing so is that an encapsulation does not prevent water entry or flooding under houses. Damage caused by water can be expensive to repair. Fixing a water-damaged foundation, for instance, can set you back as much as $12,000. To avoid scenarios where water sits against your house, install a water drainage system that directs the water away. A French drain system or a sump pump can help.
