Crawl Space Encapsulation in Herring Cove, NS
Exposed coastal homes in Herring Cove battle salt-air damp. We seal the crawl space so it can't get in.
We seal crawl spaces against salt-air damp for Herring Cove homes, where exposed coastal lots along the water take the brunt of the weather. Encapsulation cuts that constant moisture off before it reaches the framing and the air inside.
Herring Cove is a working fishing village on exposed coast, and the homes here live with salt air and damp that rarely lets up. Crawl spaces in this kind of exposure stay moist nearly year-round, which is hard on framing and pushes a damp, salty smell up into the house.
We encapsulate these crawl spaces with a heavy liner and a dehumidifier built to handle coastal humidity. Sealing the space off from the ground and the salt air keeps the framing dry and stops the damp from rising into your living space.

What we do in Herring Cove
Herring Cove: common questions
Is encapsulation worth it this close to the water?
It's where it helps most. Constant salt-air humidity keeps a crawl space damp year-round, and sealing it is the only reliable way to keep that moisture out.
Will it help with the damp smell in my Herring Cove home?
Yes. That smell is damp crawl space air rising up. Sealing the space and dropping the humidity removes the source.
