Crawl Space Vapor Barrier and Moisture Control in Grand Junction, CO and Grand Valley

For years, Mountain Crawl Space has been providing solutions for crawl space moisture and water problems for homeowners throughout Grand Valley, Grand Mesa, and Greater Grand Junction, CO. Water vapor, in the form of humidity, will literally flow into the home through crawl space vents, leaving mold and rot-supporting condensation and moisture on all cool surfaces in the area. If this problem is ignored, it will only worsen in time, eventually leading to serious damage to the wood beams and supports in the Colorado crawl space environment. If you have a wet or damp crawl space, odors coming from below your home, crawl space mold, or you're interested in saving on your energy bills through crawl space encapsulation or through vapor barriers, please don't hesitate to call or contact us today for a free crawl space and vapor barrier estimate!

A Colorado Crawl Space Only Needs to Be Damp to Be Unhealthy.

Before
After

Rotting, moldy, and damp crawl spaces across the industry are all pointing to one inevitable conclusion: crawl space vents do not work. The idea behind crawl space vents in Mesa County, Delta County, Montrose County, and Gunnison County are to open up the area underneath, creating a crosswind that will allow air to pass through and moisture to exit the area. Unfortunately, instead of passing into one window and out the other, hot summer air passes into the crawl space, warms the crawl space air, and rises upwards into the rest of the home. The moisture stored within the hot, humid air then condensates on all cool surfaces of the crawl space, soaking into wood crawl space support beams, stored items, and anything else organic in the area.

When mold begins to root itself deeply within the wet organic material in the crawl space, damaging the wood and crawl space's structure, the mold releases thousands upon thousands of allergenic spores into the air. Of course, warm air rises in a home, and as it does, everything in the air- including odors, allergens, mold spores, dust mite waste, and moisture- will come with it. Locating a crawl space repair and vapor barrier expert who's willing to come to your home, rip out your moldy, rotting, smelly wood from you narrow, vermin-infested Western Colorado crawlspace, and replace the beams is going to be both difficult and expensive. And repairing the damage is just the first step; unless the problem that caused the damage in the first place is addressed (the crawl space vents), the newly repaired or Colorado crawl space will soon meet the fate of the old one.

Even in the winter, when the summer heat is no more, crawl space vents are still costing you money. While the air in the Colorado crawl space will not tend to be as humid in the cold winter air, it still brings unwanted cold into the space. As the winter air cools the crawl space, hot water pipes, water heaters, and heating ducts will be cooled, and the homeowner will need to spend energy heating the area back up.
