Crawl Space Air Quality & Dehumidifier Installation in Chicago
Our team at Perma-Seal offers crawl space air quality and humidity control solutions for home and business owners in the Chicago and NW Indiana areas.
In addition to preventing water from damaging your crawl space, the most important part of crawl space encapsulation is being able to control humidity levels and improve the air quality. A large portion of the air in a home will travel up through the crawl space, therefore it is important that this air is of the highest quality. When outside air is vented into the crawl space, especially in humid climates, it can introduce more moisture, leading to condensation and visible mold on the ground, walls, or floor. Healthy air can improve the overall health of people in the home, it will help prevent the growth of mildew and mold in the crawl space.
The EPA states that indoor air pollution is one of the top five environmental health risks. Common sources of indoor air pollution are building materials and furnishings such as insulation, damp carpet, certain types of furniture, household cleaners, humidifiers, and even outdoor air pollution. Fungal spores and pests from the crawl space can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues in the home’s occupants. The installation of a crawl space air filtration and dehumidification system can both reduce the impact of these pollutants as well as help control the overall humidity levels in your home. Properly installing fans, vents, and HVAC system components is important to ensure adequate air flow, ventilating, and moisture control.

Vapor Barrier in crawl Space
On Monday of this week, the team of Daniel, Angel S, and Raul T showed up to start the project. They put down tarps, put on protective clothing and made certain the pathway was clear from the job site to the truck parked in the driveway.. They worked quickly, quietly and very professionally. When finished they cleaned everything, let me examine their work (although I am not qualified to evaluate their work beyond the visual) and then departed. Excellent workmen who are a credit to Perma Seal.
