Improve Your Crawl Space in Ann Arbor

Many homes throughout the Great Lakes State are built on something other than a basement or slab. The standard choice for contractors is often a crawl space in Ann Arbor and the surrounding regions. It allows air to move throughout the home, but it's much lower, sometimes only a foot tall. The surface you hit at the bottom of the stairs is bare earth, and you may find things like your furnace, water heater, and other appliances that would typically be put in a basement.

Just because your crawl space isn't usable for entertaining or living, it doesn't mean that you should ignore the necessary maintenance required to keep your home structurally sound.

One of homeowners' biggest complaints about their crawl spaces in Michigan is the amount of mold that grows and how difficult it is to remove.

Crawl spaces are dark and wet, making it the perfect environment for mold to multiply. With crawl space encapsulation, you'll achieve:

• Cleaner air circulation
• Reduced moisture
• Lower risk of mold growth
• Creating storage space

Don't put your family's health on the line by ignoring the mold problem beneath you. 

Michigan weather changes quickly. With the constant fluctuation and amount of moisture in the ground from rain, melting snow, and flooding, you could be looking at water seeping up from the ground.

A crawl space vapor barrier keeps the rainwater from coming through the soil and damaging the foundation. A plastic moisture polyethylene vapor barrier blocks the moisture that could otherwise lead to significant damages.

Discover all of your options for crawl space vapor barriers in Ann Arbor by reaching out to our team at your convenience.
