SmartSeal System
The proper way to seal the crawl space underneath your home is to install a drainge sytem and apply a vapor barrier over every exposed dirt surface and then pour concrete over the vapor barrier to seal the crawl space. For the finishing touch, we spray foam insulate the foundation walls. Now, your crawl space is dry and you've taken a huge step towards making your home energy efficient year-round
Here's how SmartSeal works: Once our drainage system, sump pump and vapor barrier are installed, we pump 3-4 inches of concrete into the crawl space.
Then, the concrete is hand-trowled smooth and once dry, it provides an impervious barrier to rodents and moisture. Now the spray foam is applied.
Now that your crawl space is clean and dry, you can think of it as an inviting and useful "mini basement."
