With the PolyRenewal™ method, slabs are operational just 15 minutes post-treatment. The entirety of the project can vary depending on the slab’s dimensions and the degree of damage. A precise timeline will be provided during your complimentary inspection.

Wet weather can exacerbate soil erosion, while freeze-thaw cycles can further destabilize the ground beneath the slab, increasing the risk of sinking.

Comprehensive crawl space encapsulation, incorporating waterproofing, insulation, and dehumidification, prevents external moisture and air from entering, thus controlling indoor humidity levels. This approach effectively reduces humidity when it stops outside moisture from being introduced into the space.

The time needed to address crawl space humidity depends on the severity of the problem, but our aim is to provide quick and comprehensive solutions. Innovative Basement Authority’s crawl space encapsulation process typically takes about a day, or possibly two for larger areas. Get in touch with us to schedule a free inspection, receive an […]

Maintaining a crawl space humidity level between 40 to 50 percent is recommended. Humidity below this range can lead to dry air, causing respiratory discomfort, while higher levels can encourage mold growth and other moisture-related problems. Implementing a professionally installed crawl space dehumidifier, coupled with waterproofing and encapsulation methods, is vital. Contact Innovative Basement Authority […]
