Entering the creepy crawlspace in Northern Minnesota
From the very first step into the crawlspace, you can see the rotting wood and the spider webs. Spiders love crawlspaces because there is usually plenty of other bugs to eat down there! Give us some time down there and we will insulate, encapsulate and reduce the humidity! You'll enjoy a healthier and more comfortable home in no time.
Box Elder bugs
These Box Elder bugs may not harm you or your home, but who really wants them inside? You can see there is an opening where these bugs can crawl inside and disappear into the crawlspace. The average home has many little holes like this one. Give us a call today to get your crawlspace properly sealed.
Effloresence on the walls of this crawlspace in northern MN
The white chalky powder on the bricks of this crawlspace is a prime example of efflorescence, a substance that is left behind when the water evaporates after coming through the concrete, mortar, or soil. Efflorescence is sometimes confused with mold, but it is not alive or harmful, unless you eat it! It is a clear sign that water is slowly seeping into your crawlspace or basement. We can encapsulate the space, reduce the humidity, and improve your home's overall energy use and comfort!
Un-insulated Crawlspaces + duct work = a bad combination!
When you have your ductwork in an uninsulated crawlspace, or attic for that matter, you're spending a lot of money on heating and cooling an unconditioned space. Ducts are thin sheets of metal that are easily heated or cooled unless they are properly insulated.
