EcoTek feels it’s important to not only eliminate pests and repair any associated damage that might come with either a termite or wildlife infestation, but also take proactive measures that will prevent future pest infestations while also creating conditions that will not only protect your home against the invasion of pests, but also make it more energy efficient. The cost incurred through these preventative measures can actually pay for themselves over time by lowering your power bills and preventing the need for further extermination services within your home. Learn more about how EcoTek can help you lower your power bills and prevent the need for exterminators through our home performance services.
Crawlspace Encapsulation
Over half the air you are breathing inside your home could be coming from your crawlspace. Unsealed crawlspaces allow damp, dusty, moldy, smelly, unhealthy air to pass through various pathways into your home. Wet, humid crawlspaces can cause serious damage to your home. Fortunately, EcoTek has the solution! In one EcoTek Crawlspace Encapsulation service, you can dramatically reduce the risk of several potentially serious issues, including:
- Moisture, Humidity & Standing Water in Crawlspace
- Wood Rot and Structural Water Damage
- Mold, Mildew, & Other Fungi
- Conducive Conditions for Termites, Wood Destroying Insects & Other Pests
- Odors & Poor Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality is an important aspect of a healthy home that is often under-appreciated.

Pest Exclusion and Weatherization
Did you know that common pests, including spiders, roaches, mice, rats, squirrels, bats, snakes, possums, raccoons, etc, find entry into your home through the same cracks and crevices that allow musty, cold, humid, smelly, drafty air inside?
