Crawlspace Encapsulation
Up to 50% of the air in the first floor of your home comes from the crawlspace. In southeastern cities like Nashville and across Middle Tennessee, homes built on crawlspaces have a tough time handling moisture — encapsulation seals out radon, polluted air, and humidity at the source.
Overview
Without crawlspace encapsulation, dangerous gases such as radon and polluted air are allowed into the home, leading to allergies, asthma, and a host of other issues. FES Crawlspace Encapsulation, Humidity Barrier, and Humidity Control handles poor air quality, uncomfortable summer humidity and cold winter floors, higher heating and cooling costs, structural decay (rotted sills, joists, floorboards, stuck doors and windows, buckled hardwood floors), condensation on HVAC equipment and ductwork, radon gas, and insect and rodent infestations. Take control of the air quality in your home and your family's health — Franklin Environmental Services is the number one choice for crawlspace encapsulation in Nashville, Brentwood, Franklin and all of Middle Tennessee.
