Crawlspace Encapsulation
Transform your damp crawlspace into a clean and safe environment.
Why is My Crawlspace So Important?
Crawlspaces are used to promote air circulation throughout the home and allow easy access to plumbing and electrical systems. Up to 50%
of your home's indoor air comes from the crawlspace, which means keeping humidity under control is crucial. When moisture builds up, it can wreak havoc on your home by causing mold, wood rot, pest infestations, and poor indoor air quality.
The Solution: Crawlspace Encapsulation
CTC uses the Your Crawlspace (YCS) vapor barrier system
to effectively seal your crawlspace and protect it from moisture. The YCS system uses innovative technology to fully seal crawlspaces without mechanical fasteners - meaning it's completely safe for your home's foundation.
All YCS systems are permanently sealed and guaranteed to be free from defects, flaws, holes, tears, and odors for 25-years.
With Your Crawlspace, CTC will transform your damp and unhealthy crawlspace into a clean and safe environment!
The Benefits: A Healthier Environment
Encapsulating your crawlspace reduces, or even eliminates, moisture problems underneath your home.
By removing moisture from the crawlspace, you and your home will reap from the benefits of a dry environment:
- Lower risk of pest infestations
- 20% reduction in home energy usage
- Elimination of foul odors
- Improvement in indoor air quality
