Whether your encapsulate crawl space is encapsulated or not, proper maintenance is important to get the most out of your investment. Crawl spaces can get very dirty very quickly, especially if they are not maintained properly. For instance, dirt and debris can build up quickly on top of your floor joists if you do not clean them regularly. This will make it harder to keep your crawl space clean as time goes on because it will take longer for you to dust off all of that dirt and debris every time you want to clean up your crawl space.
Remove old insulation and clean up dirt and debris.
The first thing you should do is recognize that a crawl space requires regular care and maintenance. When you live in an area with cold winters, you need to keep the temperature at a constant level to ensure that your home does not experience any water damage due to condensation.
Install new insulation on top of a dirt floor.
Insulating your walls will help keep heat inside during winter months and cool air out during summer months. You also need to make sure that there is no mold growth in your crawl space. This can be done by using a dehumidifier and making sure that there are no leaks under the floor.
Seal off old openings and install the new access door.
The goal of a crawl space encapsulation is to seal off the dirt floor from the rest of your home by installing a new vapor barrier, sealing all penetrations, and covering the top of the dirt with concrete or some other material that will not allow water to penetrate the ground.
