Crawlspace Encapsulation

What Is A Crawlspace Encapsulation?

Crawlspace encapsulation is the process of sealing the crawlspace from the ground and outside environment. A professionally encapsulated crawlspace typically includes:

• A heavy duty vapor barrier installed over the crawlspace floor and walls

• Sealed seams, piers, and wall penetrations

• Dehumidification 

• Drainage or water managment soulutions whne necessary

• Sealing Crawlspace vents and acess points

• Insulation upgrades based on the homes needs

Benefits of Crawlspace Encapsulation

1. Reduces Crawlspace Moisture

Dirt floors and foundation walls can allow ground moisture to enter the cralspace. Over yime, that moisture can raise humidity levels and contribute to musty odors, mold growth, wood decay, and other issues. 

2. Helps Prevent Mold and Mildew

      A sealed crawlspace with controlled humidity can help create an environment that is less suitable for mold growth.
