Pests and moisture in your crawl space can damage your health. 40% of the air in your home comes up through the crawl space. Moisture, mold, dust, and pathogens can seep into your living space, and cause asthma or allergy symptoms when breathed in.

Causes for bad indoor air quality

• Rodents, insects, snakes, and their droppings
• Toxic mold, bacteria, and mildew

A wet crawl space is a welcoming place for rats, squirrels, spiders, snakes, and all kinds of insects. Harmful bacteria from rodent droppings and urine can reach your living space through air circulation from the crawl space.

An encapsulated crawl space will instantly make a healthier home for you and your family. We have seen clients’ allergies nearly cured after only a few weeks!
