Learn why is it important to encapsulate your crawlspace in Naperville, IL today

Using plastic and tape to cover your roof or anything in your home is not a permanent solution. It does not work on your roof when you have a leak. It is a band-aid to a much larger problem. And yet many companies in the marketplace have convinced people against their better judgment that it is a fine solution to fix your Naperville crawlspace. Common sense tells us this is not a long term fix to a big problem in homes that were built in the Naperville area with crawlspaces. Especially when trying to keep water out of your home from the ground up. Water is the most prolific force on the planet and will find a way in if not redirected permanently. So concrete would seem a good and durable way to help in a crawlspace and it is much better than plastic. But the reality is that concrete is great for a driveway, but it will always form cracks. And being a water-based material, it is extremely porous and even though it looks dry, it emits gallons of water every day into the crawlspace environment. So, if the goal is a dry, conditioned crawlspace than concrete is also not the right material.

Extremely Durable – Nu-Crawl polyurea sprayed onto woven geo-textile has unparalleled strength and is nearly puncture proof. It is not an issue to walk and store heavy items on the Nu-Crawl Liner, regardless of the ground type.
Nu-Crawl Liners are custom made to fit the dimensions of the crawlspace floor. All liners are made in America at facilities designed to ensure quality each installation.
Nu-Crawl becomes a seamless liner as technicians are able to join the multiple liners together, and make every cut, and join to footing, pipe, or pier a perfect seal.
Nu-Crawl is a sprayed polymer, and is designed to bond immediately and permanently to nearly any substrate. This means we can attach our liners to stay completely and truly sealed. Suitable surfaces Nu-Crawl will bond with include concrete, CMU block, steel, and brick to name a few.
Nu-Crawl liners can cover vertical or steeply sloping ground, and will not pull down or be affected by gravity. Liners are permanently attached to points above and therefore will not shift down or come apart (like plastic/tape systems)
Nu-Crawl materials as called pure Polyureas, and therefore have no VOCs. The materials are safe to spray and use indoors, including use as sprayed potable water retention and for food processing plants. Polyurea is a very safe, and common material used by industry worldwide. Nu-Crawl is the first of its kind to be brought into the residential construction industry.
Nu-Crawl has immediate curing, within 15 seconds, and therefore technicians can easily work in the confined space and move about easily after spraying work is done. This allows installation crews to re-visit their work and make touch ups as needed. The immediate return to service also is an advantage to homeowners who would like to inspect or who need immediate storage
Many crawlspaces are rough and bumpy, and the loose ground sometimes is still experiencing settling. Using the Nu-Crawl System, there is no concern for cracking or punctures. This is especially good for new construction projects, when crawlspaces are part of the build design.
Headroom is a constant factor in a crawlspace, and using Nu-Crawl Liners maintains whatever headroom is available (unlike concrete)
Nu-Crawl RFX (reflective insulation) works for double purposes. It insulates as well as moisture proofs the walls. Our RFX materials are greatly enhanced as sprayed Nu-Crawl polymers are used to seal and seam the RFX insulation as it is installed. Effective R-value increases by double or more, by controlling the cold and moisture behind the RFX. The insulated liner allows the air space to be conditioned and reduces humidity, which is the cornerstone of crawlspace encapsulation.
The Nu-Crawl Seamless liner is suitable for storage, and meets residential building code for fire safety and vapor transmission.
Nu-Crawl liners are backed by a 100 year manufacturer warranty, as all liners are individually made in America to ensure the highest quality end product and installation.
