Products and Supplies for Crawl Space Encapsulation and Repair
Crawl Space Vent Covers
Crawl space vents allow humidity into your crawl space in the summer and cold air when winter’s chill settles in. By allowing humidity into the crawl space, where it condensates in the cooler temperatures, crawl space vents make crawl spaces damp and prove unable to do their job. And because of the stack effect, you’re moving this unconditioned air into your living space, where it becomes burden on your utility bills.
Soco Supply provides attractive crawl space vent covers in black, gray, and red that will cover up those ugly vents and protect your home. Its closed-cell foam gasket will create an excellent seal and provide an insular covering. Each vent cover will come with five fasteners to mechanically fasten the cover to the home for a long-lasting hold. This is the perfect accompaniment to the Turtl Crawl Space Access System or our matching Crawl Space Doors. Call or contact us today to for pricing and purchasing.
Crawl Space Vapor Barrier
Installing our crawl space vapor barrier product in the home is a great way to protect yourself from humidity, pests, and the heat and cold of outside air. Upgrading your crawl space is accomplishable in a day or two, and, when done properly, is an effective way to keep your crawl space preserved and protected from rot and mold.
The Boston Globe has reported that installing a vapor barrier helps just as much when it comes to making your home energy-efficient as insulation does. If your home has crawl space insulation but your crawl space is not encapsulated, then the window is wide open for cold air, moisture, and other problems to enter the home. And with the humidity of summer entering the crawl space and making the crawl space insulation wet and heavy so it drips off the ceiling, that insulation isn’t helping much anyways.
In short, our crawl space vapor barrier product provides your home with the following advantages:
- Protects your home from cold winter air, leading to lower utility bills
- Protects your home from hot summer air, leading to lower utility bills
- Stops humidity from entering the crawl space and rotting all organic material in the space.
- Makes the home more healthier by helping to lower humidity and stop mold and dust mites from thriving in the home
- Acts as a passive radon mitigation system to help protect your home from these harmful gases.
- Acts as a passive barrier to help deter rodents, termites, ants, cockroaches, and other pests from entering the crawl space area.
In addition, an encapsulated crawl space is now usable space in your home. Once you’ve properly installed a vapor barrier, you can comfortably use the space for storage in your home. Contact us today for a free estimate on a reliable crawl space vapor barrier!
