EcoCrawls

At EcoCrawls, we recently had the privilege of completing a comprehensive crawl space encapsulation project in Hillsborough that exemplifies our commitment to excellence and sustainability in every aspect of our work.

We started the project by carefully removing outdated and inefficient insulation to pave the way for newer, more effective insulation materials. Before proceeding further, our team meticulously cleaned the crawl space, removing accumulated dust and addressing any existing mold issues.

In the quest for optimal home performance, every detail counts. EcoCrawls recently completed a comprehensive crawlspace encapsulation project on a home under construction. With a focus on elevating comfort, efficiency, and durability, this project showcases the power of strategic insulation and weatherproofing techniques.

At EcoCrawls, we believe in pushing the boundaries of conventional construction practices to deliver superior results. Central to our crawlspace encapsulation project was the integration of innovative materials and techniques designed to maximize efficiency and comfort.

In a recent project completed by Eco Crawls, we had the privilege of transforming a home’s crawlspace with a comprehensive suite of services, including French drain installation, crawlspace grading, mold remediation, insulation removal and replacement, and a meticulous 10 mil vapor barrier installation. Let’s explore how each step contributed to revitalizing this property.

EcoCrawls recently tackled a transformative project addressing a home without a proper vapor barrier in its crawlspace, a common issue leading to moisture-related problems and energy inefficiency. To combat these challenges, our team implemented a comprehensive encapsulation solution, beginning with a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the issue and identify underlying concerns. This involved installing a high-quality vapor barrier to seal off the crawlspace, insulating to enhance energy efficiency, and air sealing to prevent outdoor pollutants from entering.

Although we often complete crawlspace encapsulation projects on older homes, doing it as part of the construction process is a great opportunity. In this project, we sealed the crawlspace in two stages.  In stage one, we installed insulation board to all of the exterior foundation walls. We also installed a layer of six mm vapor barrier to prevent moisture during the building process.

We recently completed a North Raleigh crawlspace encapsulation project on a 1970s era home. Overall, the space had stayed dry over the years but old construction materials, and dirt had built up. There were some minor mold issues that were identified upon our first inspection of the space. The homeowners put an addition on the home in 2020 and the new area was in good shape, although it was not sealed.

We completed this Pittsboro encapsulation project that also included mold removal and conditioning. We were able to completely encapsulate this crawl space but in the process of cleaning out the area, we noticed several areas with mold and mildew. As part of our services, we made sure to fully remove the mold and ensure it doesn’t come back, then we laid down poly sheeting to keep the whole area clean and dry.

When these Chapel Hill clients had their home inspected, they unfortunately got the news that the crawlspace had moisture issues, including fungal growth. This was not the news they were hoping for in their new home so they reached out to us. They hired us to fully take care of these issues and ensure their house is insulated and weatherproofed.

We are proud to have rebuilt our website to provide our customers with more information about both our company and the services we provide. As we continue to grow and service builders and homeowners in Chapel Hill, Hillsborough, and Durham we wanted our website to reflect who we are today and are headed in the future.

We thank you for visiting our new site and would be happy to provide you with an estimate for crawlspace encapsulation, vapor barrier installation, mold remediation and removal, crawlspace and attic insulation installs, and french drains and sump pumps. Feel free to contact us or call (919) 265-8686.
