Encapsulation & Repair
Let the experts at Falcone Crawl Space & Structural Repair fix and prevent water damage to your home. We offer encapsulation and waterproofing services to reduce wood rot and moisture buildup.
WOOD ROT
Wood members inside your crawl space are subject to moisture damage, pest damage, dry rot, and warping. Our certified repair crews are experienced in replacing all components of a floor system, including bandsill, girders, joists, and subfloors.
MOISTURE
Moisture in your crawl space can lead to unexpected problems. It can lead to mold, reduced air quality, and can rot your flooring and foundation. The experts at Falcone Crawl Space can remove the excess moisture and resolve the issue before it leads to any more problems.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Crawl space encapsulation is a popular solution for many moisture issues. It effectively addresses humidity and moisture concerns homeowners have. Encapsulation seals the crawl space from the ground, walls, outside air, and water intrusion, preventing damage to your home. This process involves installing a vapor barrier on the ground and walls, sealing all seams, and sealing off foundation vents, blocking moisture and humidity from seeping in.
Encapsulating your crawl space also improves indoor air quality by reducing mold and mildew, while helping you save on energy bills by maintaining optimal temperatures throughout the year.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS
The most professional team I have ever worked with. This team fully encapsulated the crawlspace under my home, as well as repaired some rotten structures under my fireplace… I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend this company.
We originally got 3 different crawlspace encapsulation quotes for our 100+ year old house. We chose Falcone based on their proposed remediation plan because it made the most sense for what we required…They kept the site clean and left the job immaculate… I have been back under the house multiple times and am amazed at the amount and quality of their work. I would recommend Falcone for encapsulation jobs, especially for older houses.
FAQs
Encapsulation refers to the process of sealing and protecting the crawl space or basement of a home to prevent moisture intrusion and improve indoor air quality.
A plastic vapor barrier belongs under most homes with crawl spaces to keep soil moisture consistent and prevent vapors from rotting your wood floor system.
At Falcone, a vapor barrier installation includes removing debris from the crawl space, tacking up loose wires/ductwork/insulation, and installing a poly vapor barrier on the soil throughout your crawl space.
Signs that your home may require encapsulation include musty odors, high humidity levels, condensation on windows, visible mold growth, uneven, buckling, or warped floors, or increased energy bills.
