Piedmont is a small area that lies between the busy neighborhoods of Oakland and the hills of the East Bay and is characterized by fancy houses, lack of traffic, and old buildings. Nevertheless, moisture and temperature variations under the house even in this scenic location could cause crawl space issues that invisibly influence comfort, air quality and stability.
Our crew offers professional crawl space repair and encapsulation to the Piedmont area. Our specialization is to regulate the humidity levels, strengthen foundations, and enhance better insulation to shield homes against the fluctuating microclimate of the area. You may be right in Highland Avenue or in the picturesque hills overlooking the Moraga Avenue, but we make sure that your crawl space is always dry, clean, and secure throughout the year.
The location of Piedmont close to San Francisco Bay implies that the area is humid particularly mornings and in winter. This moisture usually may accumulate in unsealed crawl spaces, and it may condense on wooden beams and insulation.
To fight these effects, our team relies on the use of vapor barriers, dehumidifiers and correct sealing methods. Humidity control helps us to avoid condensation, wood rot, and the growth of molds in your wood foundation and lets you enjoy the benefits of having a stable, healthy foundation during any weather.
Each of the areas in the Bay Area has specific crawl space issues, and Piedmont with its combination of humid air at the coast and cool temperatures on the nights needs moisture control. The following are some of the climate factors that have the most notable impacts on the local homes:
The moisture of the soil and foundations is captured by the cool air of the Bay which boosts the humidity of the crawl space.
When it rains, the run off of the nearby hills may penetrate the crawl spaces in case of poor grading or drainage systems.
Quick changes between hot afternoons and cold evenings cause condensation under the uninsulated floors.
We would build crawl spaces systems that will adjust to these natural conditions thus ensuring your home is not affected by excess moisture or by changes in temperature.
Most crawl space issues have their basis with moisture in humid climates such as the East Bay. Chronic dampness may result in moulds, smells, crooked floors and even infestation of pests.
The process of encapsulation that we do prevents all these problems by closing vents, putting in place vapor barriers and ensuring controlled vents. The outcome is a dry and level environment that reinforces your foundation and enhances the comfort of your home in general.
In Winter, the cold air can also go in through the unsealed vents and cracks and cools your floors which makes your heating system to work harder. The presence of moisture in the crawl space may also freeze and create larger gaps and deteriorate over time.
To prevent cold air infiltration and stabilize different temperatures, crawl spaces are insulated and closed. We not only provide a more comfortable experience but also make it less expensive in terms of energy usage, particularly in the moist winter days of Piedmont.
