Crawl space homes are much more common in the south and west coast but can be found just about anywhere. In Old El Paso, Ruidoso, Alto, Cloudcroft and everywhere in between most homes have crawl spaces and basements. Since crawl spaces are left exposed to the elements, they are naturally susceptible to moisture, mold and water damage which can affect piers and beams, foundation walls, floors, insulation and more importantly your health. Stop all of this by encapsulation of the crawl space with Crawl Space Design. 

When it comes to crawl spaces, there are 3 areas of concern:

1. Structural Problems: Structural issues weaken the support system of the home, causing floors to sag, cracks in walls and doors & windows that stick – Left unaddressed, these stability issues can dramatically impact the value and appearance of your home.

2. Water Problems: Water seeks the path of least resistance and enters your crawl space through weak points. Pooling water underneath the home can lead to structural damage, rot, mold, and unpleasant odors throughout the home.

3. Air Quality Problems: Do you notice musty odors coming from the crawl space? In your home, hot air rises from below and escapes near the upper levels. This means the air you breath inside your home comes from the humid crawl space area, through a process known as the Stack Effect.

Crawl spaces can become a mess – wood rot, pooling water, uneven floors, foul odors, and mold are just a few examples of the problems that can affect an untreated crawl space. We are the contractor for your encapsulation project.
