Crawlspace Encapsulation

Permadry waterproofing offers two options for crawl space encapsulation:

Vinyl Liner
Neutocrete®

Neutocrete Installation:

It is important to understand that though only Neutocrete can seal your basement or crawlspace and is the patented and permanent solution to all of your crawlspace needs; it is not just a quick-fix or one simple product. The Neutocrete system is both a product and an installation procedure that takes time and effort. The system is a Five-Step Installation process that creates an environment that is inhospitable to molds, mildew, odors, dry rot, rodents, insects, and radon.

Step One: Site Preparation

The Neutocrete crew prepares the earth surface of your crawl space for the proper application of Neutocrete®. This includes removing debris and old insulation from the crawl space, then raking out the dirt floor, and adding a layer of crushed stone. Our experienced crews gear up with masks and gear for protection against breathing in mold and harmful bacteria before the work begins.

Site preparation helps to begin solving: health and mold problems, water and humid air issues, vermin and insect infestation, dry rot and musty odors, and high energy cost and leaks.

Step Two: Fix Drainage Neuto-Drainage™ Installation

If you have water intrusion problems, our experienced crew will develop an adaptive drainage system hybridized to remedy the problems particular to your property and crawl space.

Because Neutocrete is a sealant, it will act as a barrier and not allow the water into your crawl space but if there are existing water problems, the water will rise beneath the Neutocrete, causing lifting and sometimes cracking.

Occasionally water will come into a crawl space from other sources such as through concrete or rock walls. A well designed drainage system will rectify this issue.

A drainage system can be as simple as installing a sump pump or, for more extreme conditions, this means developing a whole system of drainage within your crawl space and outside your home on your property.

Neuto-Drainage™ Installation helps solve the water and humid air issues in your home.

Step Three: Seal Crawl Space - Neutocrete® & Neutocoat™ Application

Neutocrete®, our patented lightweight mixture is applied like concrete and allowed to cure for a 60-90 day period after which it permanently seals and dries out dirt crawl space floors. Neutocoat™ is applied after the Neuotcrete® cures and provides a polished layer of additional sealant.

The Neutocrete® & Neutocoat™ Application helps to continue solving: health and mold problems, water and humid air issues, vermin and insect infestation, dry rot and musty odors, and high energy cost and leaks.

Step Four: Mold Treatment NeutoShock™ & NeutoBlock™ Application

When there are signs of water intrusion and/or mold, well apply NeutoShock to all exposed man-made surfaces like windows, floor joists, walls, etc. This highly effective EPA-registered fungicide/cleaner/disinfectant eliminates mold.

Formulated to prevent future mold growth, NeutoBlock is applied within the crawl space. It provides an extra level of security and prevents mold spores from attaching themselves within your crawl space in the future.

The NeutoShock™ & NeutoBlock™ Application helps to continue solving health and mold problems.

Step Five: Insulation Installation & Ventilation Modifications

We will remove improperly and ineffectively installed insulation and replace it with high-quality insulation only around the beam ends where energy leaks occur. Because Neutocrete® acts as a natural insulator, the ceiling of your crawl space is left uninsulated. This allows the crawl space to become an integrated part of your household system and helps keep your home temperature constant.

We will modify or replace your current ventilation system to improve the health of your crawl space. Contrary to popular belief, ventilated crawl spaces allow moist air into your crawl space, especially in the summer. Sealed crawl spaces are healthier and have less humidity, are less likely to have mold growth, and help maintain a constant home temperature.

The Insulation Installation & Ventilation Modifications complete the process and finish solving health and mold problems, water and humid air issues, vermin and insect infestation, and high energy cost and leaks.

Only Neutocrete can seal your basement or crawlspace creating an environment that is now inhospitable to molds, mildew, odors, dry rot, rodents, insects, and radon.

Neutocrete is the patented and permanent solution to all of your crawlspace needs!
