Crawl Space Encapsulation in Billings, Montana and Wyoming<\/h1>\n

Encapsulating your crawl space is a very effective way to seal the area completely and keep it protected from damage. Typically, encapsulation is done in conjunction with dehumidifier installation to ensure that moisture can\u2019t get in.<\/p>\n

Structural issues are commonly related to your crawl space and could usually have been prevented if recognized sooner. If yours isn\u2019t protected, it\u2019s critical to have a professional inspection done to see what kind of damage your home might be subject to.\u00a0Encapsulating the crawl space of your Billings home, or installing a dehumidifer system, can mitigate damage. <\/span>The team at Yellowstone Structural Systems will check your crawl space and basement and consult with you about any damages, or areas of concern, and the best solutions to correct them.<\/p>\n

Reasons to Protect Your Crawl Space<\/h2>\n

Crawl spaces affect the health of a structure more than most homeowners realize. Considering most people don\u2019t see much of their crawl space, it\u2019s easy to understand why. Mold grows very easily in crawl spaces, putting the air quality in your home at risk. Additionally, if there\u2019s enough condensation for mold to grow, it\u2019s likely that the wood beams and joists holding up your home are being affected, too. Unsealed crawl spaces also let in pests and can greatly increase your utility bills.\u00a0This is why installing a dehumidifier system in your Billings home, or encapsulating your crawl space, can help protect against mold, moisture, or unwanted pests.<\/span><\/p>\n
