At Reactic Restoration, we understand the importance of a dry and healthy crawl space. Excess moisture can lead to a variety of problems, including mold growth, wood rot, and structural damage. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of moisture control solutions to protect your home or business.
Our Services
Vapor Barriers: We install high-quality vapor barriers in 12-mil and 20-mil thicknesses. These barriers act as a protective layer, preventing moisture from evaporating from the soil and entering your crawl space. This helps to maintain a dry environment and prevent moisture-related issues.
Drainage Mats: In addition to vapor barriers, we also install drainage mats beneath the vapor barrier. These mats create a drainage path, allowing any water that does penetrate the barrier to flow freely to a designated drainage point. This prevents water from pooling and causing damage.
Sump Pump Installation: For efficient water removal, we install sump pumps in crawl spaces. These pumps collect any accumulated water and pump it away from the foundation, ensuring a dry crawl space even during heavy rain or periods of high water table.
Trench Drains: To direct water towards the sump pump, we install trench drains. These drains are strategically placed to intercept water from various sources and channel it effectively to the pump, preventing it from spreading and causing damage.
Improved Indoor Air Quality: By controlling moisture, you can prevent mold growth and improve the overall air quality in your home or business.
Structural Integrity: Excess moisture can weaken wooden support structures and lead to structural damage. Moisture control measures help to protect the integrity of your property.
Energy Efficiency: A dry crawl space can help to improve energy efficiency by reducing the need for excessive heating or cooling.
Pest Prevention: Damp environments can attract pests such as termites and rodents. Moisture control can help to prevent infestations and protect your property.
Moisture can accumulate due to factors like exposed soil, poor drainage, foundation cracks, and open vents allowing humid air to enter.
Signs include musty odors, mold growth, wood rot, damp insulation, and increased humidity levels inside your home.
A vapor barrier is a plastic or foil sheet installed over the ground in your crawl space to prevent moisture from the soil from entering the area, thereby reducing humidity and associated problems.
It’s recommended to seal crawl space vents year-round to prevent humid air from entering, which can lead to moisture issues.
A dehumidifier helps maintain appropriate humidity levels in the crawl space, preventing mold growth and structural damage.
Yes, excess moisture can lead to damp insulation and increased humidity, causing your HVAC system to work harder and reducing overall energy efficiency.
Yes, moisture creates an ideal environment for mold growth, which can affect indoor air quality and pose health risks.
Moist air from the crawl space can rise into your living areas, carrying mold spores and other pollutants that degrade indoor air quality.
Encapsulation involves sealing the crawl space with a vapor barrier and insulation, which helps control moisture, improve air quality, enhance energy efficiency, and prevent pest infestations.
