We sure do! In fact, depending on the service or installation, such as crawl space encapsulation, we provide a lifetime workmanship warranty from Valley Crawlspace provided we do the complete installation. For sump pumps and dehumidifiers, you'll receive a 5-year warranty from the manufacturer.
The answer is yes! Over time, the installation costs will pay off with reduced energy bills and increased home value. If selling your home, it's a great selling feature and one that can automatically increase your asking price.
When mold grows and spreads it does so by mold spores that are disturbed and spread through the air. If you have mold in your crawlspace, it's likely you'll end up with mold spores in your home through ductwork and other openings. On top of that, mold is disastrous to your framework and insulation in your crawl space. It uses these sources for food and over time will weaken wooden structures like floor joists and cause the need for replacements and higher repair costs.
Yes of course! That’s one of the great benefits. Just don’t store items near the dehumidifier to keep optimal airflow and keep in mind the flooring and walls can be damaged if sharp objects are present. Many use their newly encapsulated crawl spaces as additional food storage and holiday decorations.
The lining of walls, floors, and piers gives your crawl space a fresh new beginning, all water sources are eliminated and insulated vapor barriers are in place, so why a dehumidifier? A dehumidifier ensures the environment stays at low humidity and it doesn’t give mold a chance! It’s an integral part of the engineered encapsulation system that works like a charm.
Alabama gets its fair share of rain. If you have conditions that are prone to high humidity, crawl space vents might not provide sufficient airflow to keep things dry. That’s where encapsulation comes into play. With this system, your crawl space is fully enclosed and completely separate from the outdoor elements. It is essentially an enclosed system that functions beautifully on its own.
