Lexington Crawl Space Encapsulation
If moisture enters the crawl space in your home, the buildup can cause a host of damage to your home as well as health issues for your family. Unchecked, that moisture can result in mold, wood damage, and bad air. Smells building up in the crawl space will make their way into your house after a while, causing further damage.
United Structural Systems has experts who can help. We offer basement waterproofing and crawl space encapsulation to help Lexington homeowners protect their homes. Crawl space encapsulation prevents moisture from building up in your crawl space using a plastic vapor barrier to cover the interior area.
