Why Choose South Central Services To Encapsulate Your Crawl Space

You know you're going to encapsulate your crawl space. You landed on encapsulation after searching for a solution for your musty and dirty crawl space. You know all the benefits and even calculated a rough estimate of what it will cost. All that's left to decide is who to trust with encapsulating your crawl space.

South Central Services offers crawl space encapsulation for our entire service area. This includes southern Pennsylvania and surrounding areas in Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. If your home is located in our service area, consider working with our team to encapsulate your crawl space.

Let's examine the top six reasons you should choose South Central Services to encapsulate your crawl space.

1. Your Home Will Be Looked At Holistically.

Your crawl space needs encapsulation because it affects the rest of your home. Your installer must understand how your crawl space fits into your home's building envelope. The crawl space is not separate from your home even though it is not a type of living space.

If foam is sprayed or vapor barriers are laid without that foundation, encapsulation can do more harm than good. You may spend thousands on an ineffective job if the entirety of your home is not considered.

2. You’ll Receive The Value You Need.

South Central Services is not the least expensive option in Franklin County. We are more concerned with our work quality than winning a bid. Our team prescribes what a crawl space needs: we do not oversell or undersell.

We'll tell you if your crawl space faces excess moisture that necessitates a dehumidifier. We'll let you know if you don't need a dimple mat because your crawl space will rarely be accessed.

Your encapsulation needs to be done right, and it needs to deliver the value that you need.

3. You’ll Hold Our Team Accountable.

You can hold our team accountable to deliver on our promises. We have a high regard for quality work and have high expectations of our own work. You can hold us to anything you read on our website about the work we deliver.

If we do not deliver what we promised, we will repair it at no cost to you. We are confident in our work and are willing to stand behind it.

4. Your Root Problems Will Be Addressed.

Some companies encapsulate crawl spaces but don't insulate them. These companies will use a vapor barrier on the floor and walls to seal off moisture in the crawl space. While this method may address vapor transfer, it doesn't address the cold coming into your home.

For homes in southern Pennsylvania, the cold in your crawl space will impact the rest of your house. To truly solve all the issues that crawl spaces present in our service area, we have to insulate the crawl space, as well.

A crawl space encapsulated by our team will be climate-controlled for your family's health, comfort, and financial benefit.

5. You’ll See And Feel Results.

Encapsulation is more than just a project to make your crawl space less dingy and smelly. Encapsulating your crawl space leads to lower energy bills, better air quality, and a more comfortable home.

When you receive your first energy bill after encapsulating, your energy use will be lower. You will see the tangible result every time you pay for heating and cooling.

You'll also feel the intangible benefits of encapsulation. Your air will be cleaner, and your home will be more comfortable. Your floors won't be cold in the winter. You'll breathe better.

We don't encapsulate crawl spaces just to encapsulate them. We encapsulate crawl spaces to deliver results.

6. You And Your Home Will Be Treated With Respect.

Our team at South Central Services leaves job sites cleaner than we found them. For encapsulation, your crawl space will obviously look more inviting than before. But this attitude extends beyond the aesthetics of encapsulation.

You are welcoming us to your home to perform a service. We don't take your trust in our team lightly. We are careful to prepare and clean a space after insulating, and we will hand back your home to you respectfully.
