Waterproofing
This is the process of preventing water from entering the basement space. This can include applying sealants to the interior walls and floors, using sump pumps to remove water, and installing interior drainage systems. This is crucial for maintaining a dry and healthy environment, as moisture can lead to mold, structural damage, and other issues.
Encapsulation
This involves sealing the basement environment to prevent moisture and humidity from entering. This method is often used in crawl spaces but can also apply to full basements. Here’s how it works:
Vapor Barrier: A thick plastic or polyethylene sheet is installed over the floors and walls to create a barrier against moisture.
Sealing: All seams, joints, and penetrations are sealed to ensure no air or moisture can enter.
Dehumidification: Sometimes, a dehumidifier is used to control humidity levels within the encapsulated space.
Insulation: Insulating the walls may also be part of the process to enhance energy efficiency and maintain stable temperatures.
Encapsulation effectively reduces the risk of mold growth, structural damage, and indoor air quality issues by creating a controlled environment.
