Moisture barrier
A moisture barrier also known as a vapor barrier is an important attribute to any home. The moisture barrier is essentially a thick piece of plastic laid over the crawlspace flooring to prevent water vapor from rising up into your joist and sub floor of your home. It’s important to prevent this from happening as it can lead to moisture issues in your crawlspace which can lead to mold and fungi growth as well as cause
your insulation to become inefficient. Premier Pest Management is here to help though we will come and set up thick layer of plastic in your crawlspace with this the right amount of coverage to allow your crawlspace to properly breathe and remain healthy.
Temp vents
Another important attribute to a healthy crawlspace are vents along your foundation of your home. We recommend keeping trees and bushes trimmed away from your vents as to not block air flow. We also recommend keeping your vents open in the summer and closed in the winter. If you don’t have proper air movement in a crawlspace humidity and moisture can start to form in your insulation making it ineffective. Fortunately we have a solution. We over temp vents essentially it’s a vent that works off a built in humidistat that opens and closes automatically so you can keep the humidity out.
Debris removal
We see it alot a house was built and the contractors just left all the excess wood and brick just laying there in your crawlspace. Well all that wood laying in your crawlspace is an all you can eat buffet for termites. You wanna keep termites out of your house not invite them for dinner. Premier Pest Management offers debris removal where we will come out and remove all the old junk that was left behind from contractors past.
Insulation
Over time insulation can break down and become ineffective after being exposes to the elements for years. It can start to fall down over time and it will need to be re-hung. We offer re-hanging insulation as well as replacing insulation or just putting in insulation for the first time.
Powder Post beetles
We can treat your crawlspace for Powder Post Beetles. Powder Post Beetles are essentially beetles that burrow into your joist that hold up your house. They make tunnels in your wood these tunnels are known as galleries and they lay there eggs in the galleries. Over time the population of powder post beetles can become quite largeif left untreated and can really effect the structural integrity of your property..
