Crawl Space Encapsulation for Sunny Side homeowners
Sunny Side is rolling Spalding County ground, and terrain decides everything here. Water runs off the high ground and gathers in the folds, and a house sitting in one collects what the whole slope above it sheds. That water ends up in the soil around and under the crawl space.
Piedmont clay keeps it there. It does not pass water down and away, so once the ground under a house is wet it stays wet for a long stretch. Bare earth in that condition releases moisture into the crawl space continuously, and the vents let summer air in to add to it.
So the work runs in order. Interception uphill where the runoff starts, drainage at the perimeter for what still arrives, then a heavy liner across the ground and up the walls and piers, vents sealed shut, and a dehumidifier to hold the space. Photographs and a written fixed price come before any of it begins.
The scope is fixed before we start on a Sunny Side home, so nothing gets added once the crew is underneath.
- Heavy-duty reinforced vapor barrier
- Sealed vents, seams, and foundation walls
- Lower humidity and energy bills
- Healthier air in the living space above
