Crawl Space Encapsulation to Protect Your Home

Crawl space encapsulation is the process of sealing a dirt-floor crawl space to protect your home from moisture, mold, pests, and structural damage. It involves installing a thick vapor barrier, sealing air leaks, and controlling humidity to create a healthier, more energy-efficient home environment.

Our Process

How crawl space encapsulation works

Encapsulation typically involves four steps.

Inspection

01

Assess the crawl space’s condition to determine the best approach.

Fix Groundwater Issues

02

Install a sump pump to manage groundwater and prevent pooling.

Install a Vapor Barrier

03

Cover walls and floors with a durable polyethylene liner to block moisture.

Seal Air Leaks

04

Close off vents, gaps, and other openings to prevent outside air from entering.

Why encapsulate your crawl space?

Better Protection

An unsealed crawl space with a dirt floor can lead to a host of issues, including:

  • High Humidity

    • Moisture from the soil evaporates into your home, increasing energy costs and humidity levels.

  • Mold and Poor Air Quality

    • Stagnant water and damp conditions promote mold growth, spreading spores into your home.

  • Pests

    • Damp crawl spaces attract pests like rodents, insects, and snakes, which can lead to infestations and odors.

  • Structural Damage

    • Excess moisture causes wooden beams and joists to rot, compromising your home’s foundation.
