Q: What can I use instead of crawl space encapsulation?

• <div><p>Venting the crawl space can be a good alternative to encapsulation if you live in a dry climate and the moisture problem isn&rsquo;t severe. You could also try a dehumidifier or install a vapor barrier on the floor, leaving the walls exposed. A new drainage system may eliminate the moisture problem if it is not caused by humidity.</p></div>

Q: Is a pier and beam the same as a crawl space?

• <div><p>Although the two terms are closely related and often used interchangeably, pier and beam foundations and crawl spaces are different things. A pier and beam foundation is made up of concrete piers and wooden beams and creates a space under the home known as a crawl space. There are several types of foundations that create crawl spaces, often collectively known as &ldquo;crawl space foundations,&rdquo; but the crawl space itself is separate from the foundation. </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>

Q: How long does it take to dry out a wet crawl space?

• <div><p>If you set up a dehumidifier, it will usually dry out your wet crawl space within 12 to 24 hours. Once the space is dry, it&rsquo;s a good idea to take preventative measures to keep it dry. These include installing a French drain or other exterior foundation drainage system, installing a sump pump in the crawl space, and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-install-vapor-barrier-in-crawl-space.htm">installing a vapor barrier</a> in addition to leaving the dehumidifier running. </p></div>

Q: What protects you from mold?

• <div><p>When doing any type of project involving mold, it's important to wear the right protective gear. You'll want an N-95 or KN-95 mask to keep yourself from inhaling mold spores, which can be irritating or trigger an allergic reaction in people with weakened immune systems. You'll also want to wear protective eyewear and gloves to limit your contact with mold.</p></div>

My pool was swampy. Couldn’t see the bottom. Aqua Pulse came promptly, vacuumed a huge amount of dirt and decaying leaves from the pool. They balanced the chemicals and left me with a sparkling, clear pool. Excellent experience from start to finish. I highly recommend them.
