Crawl Space Encapsulation in Bedford, NS
Crawl space encapsulation for Bedford homes, from basin-side properties to the newer builds climbing the West Bedford hills.
We handle crawl space encapsulation for Bedford homes, from the established streets near the basin to the newer West Bedford subdivisions up the hill. Whether it's an older home with a damp crawl space or a newer build with cold floors, we seal it off and keep it dry.
Bedford is a mix of established basin-side homes and a lot of newer development climbing the hills around Hammonds Plains Road. The newer builds aren't immune, plenty sit on crawl spaces, and a crawl space that isn't sealed and insulated will run damp and cold no matter how new the house is.
Hillside lots add their own twist: water runs downhill and can find its way into a crawl space after heavy rain. We assess where the moisture's coming from, handle any drainage, then seal and insulate the space so it stays dry and the floors above stay warm.
Why Bedford homeowners call us
Newer homes still get damp crawl spaces
A new West Bedford build with cold floors usually has an unsealed, uninsulated crawl space. We fix that without touching the rest of the house.
Hillside runoff
Homes built into the Bedford slopes can take on runoff. We deal with the water before we seal the space.
Basin-area humidity
Properties near the basin sit in damp air. A sealed crawl space and dehumidifier keep that moisture out from below.
What we do in Bedford
Bedford: common questions
My Bedford home is fairly new but the floors are cold. Why?
Cold floors usually mean an open, uninsulated crawl space under them, even in newer homes. Sealing and insulating the space is the fix, and it's a quick one.
Can water from the hillside get into my crawl space?
It can, especially after heavy rain. We check for water intrusion first and add drainage or a sump if needed before sealing the space.
