What’s better than home repair? Home maintenance! The idea of paying for services when there isn’t an obvious problem might strike Maryland homeowners in Easton, Cambridge, and Salisbury as going against common sense. But we have first hand experience here at Total Home Performance that you can ensure a healthier, safer home and also save money by scheduling preventative maintenance as opposed to waiting until something breaks to pay for repair calls.
If you’re looking to reap the benefits of a properly encapsulated crawl space all year round, enroll in Total Home Performance’s crawl space maintenance plan.
The Benefits of Crawl Space Maintenance
Crawl space encapsulation solves a number of common issues that Eastern Shore residents deal with, including:
-
High humidity levels and bad indoor odors
-
Expensive energy bills
-
Moisture and mold in your home
-
Poor indoor air quality symptoms from unhealthy air like headaches, coughing or sneezing, and allergy-like symptoms
Crawl space encapsulation involves properly insulating and air sealing, applying vapor and moisture barriers, and dehumidifying the area of your home under your feet, which can decrease mold, pest, and IAQ issues and lower your heating and cooling costs by reducing energy waste.
But your home is in a constant state of change, and your crawl space is a particularly vulnerable area because typically it is out of sight and of mind. That's where we can help! With crawl space maintenance plan membership, you can feel confident that your crawl space stays just as protected as the day you originally scheduled encapsulation services, maintaining indoor air quality and efficient HVAC operation.
