Crawl Space Encapsulation in Chester, NS
Waterfront and heritage homes in Chester need their crawl spaces sealed against South Shore damp.
We seal crawl spaces for Chester homes, including the waterfront and heritage summer homes around the harbour and village core. South Shore coastal damp keeps these crawl spaces moist, and encapsulation keeps the floor and framing dry, even on seasonal homes.
Chester is a South Shore village with a beautiful harbour and a lot of older summer homes near the water. Coastal damp and the seasonal closing-up that comes with summer properties make for crawl spaces that go moist and musty under the floor while no one's looking.
We encapsulate these crawl spaces with a heavy liner and a dehumidifier, treat any mold the damp has started, and add drainage where water gets in. For a Chester summer home, a sealed crawl space means opening up to a dry, fresh house instead of a damp one each season.
Why Chester homeowners call us
South Shore coastal damp
Waterfront Chester homes sit in humid coastal air. A sealed crawl space keeps that moisture out from below.
Seasonal summer homes
Closed-up summer homes go musty underneath. A sealed, dehumidified crawl space stays dry on its own.
Heritage homes protected
Older Chester homes have framing worth protecting. Drying the crawl space guards it from rot.
