![]() We all know that Nashville, Tennessee has been deemed the home of basement crawl space encapsulation. Well, crawl space encapsulation and country music. While various stars around here have put Nashville’s name on the map for its contribution to the music industry, we are putting its name on the map for our contribution to the crawlspace repair industry. Sealing up a crawl space has more to it than climbing in through any old crawl space opening and slapping down some plastic. No sir, that crawl space under your house requires attention from professional crawl space contractors like us. When the Tennessee rains keep falling, and the Nashville humidity keeps frizzing, you can run into all sorts of crawl space moisture problems. Water penetrates your basement walls and provides the perfect little home for bacteria and insects. Crawl space mold is not an uncommon thing in homes around here. It is hard to avoid in hot, damp settings. Damp crawl space wall insulation and still water often lead to the growth of yellow mold, and even lead to the increase of airborne allergens. This unwanted crawl space water can even negatively affect your air quality. Without proper encapsulation and repair, your crawl space can also start to produce a terrible odor. Talk about disgusting. Apart from nasty invaders and unpleasant smells, flood water can seriously damage your home’s foundation. The water eats away at paint and drywall, leaving your basement weaker and more susceptible to cracks and leaks. Crawlspace joists can fall and entry ways can collapse from any and all combinations of heavy water and weakened hardware. If these issues are not caught early and addressed immediately, the safety of your home and everyone living in it is at stake. Nothing good can happen when the foundation of your home is taken out from under you. You can fairly easily turn off the radio and pretend like country music doesn’t exist. However, it has proved to be much harder to turn off the heavy rainstorms and dry out the 60%+ humidity and pretend like that doesn’t exist. That is why we are here.
