Q: Do you need crawl space vents for encapsulation?

• <div><p>Encapsulation can take the place of crawl space vents since it protects the area from moisture and air all year round. Determining whether you should <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/crawl-space-vents-opened-or-closed.htm">open or close crawl space vents</a> can be complicated since it often depends on the weather and humidity. Skip this step by investing in crawl space encapsulation whenever possible.</p></div>

Q: Does a basement need ventilation to reduce humidity?

• <div><p>Proper basement ventilation is very effective at reducing humidity. Without enough ventilation, your basement is prone to mold and moisture damage. Your basement should have as much natural ventilation via windows and doors as possible, and if your budget allows, you should also consider installing an ERV system to keep basement humidity levels at bay.</p></div>

Q: How do you keep moisture out of a brick wall?

• <div><p>Brick is designed to absorb moisture, but it is also designed to let it evaporate as well. So in general, the goal shouldn&rsquo;t necessarily be keeping moisture out but making sure it has the room to breathe. If you have excess moisture getting through your brick wall, it&rsquo;s more likely that you have a crack or other issue at play that a typical sealant won&rsquo;t fix. So, instead of investing in sealant, try <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-repairing-brick-wall-cost.htm">repairing your brick wall</a> instead. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a raised foundation?

• <div><p>Regular inspections, proper drainage management, and ensuring soil stability help prevent future settlement issues.</p></div>

Q: How do I make good drainage around my house foundation?

• <div><p>The best way to ensure the ground next to your home&rsquo;s foundation drains properly is to divert water away from it as much as possible. While a flood wall can stop water from entering the house, gutters and spouts can help direct rainwater and melting snow away from the foundation. Keep your gutters as clear as possible from dead leaves and other yard debris so they can effectively divert water from your house. Add extenders to the spouts so the water runs out and away from your home, not into the surrounding soil. </p></div>
