Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation is a method of sealing off the air space beneath your home.  The goal is to avoid indoor moisture issues that can lead to more problems such as mold, structural decay, and pests.  The vapor retarder, or vapor barrier, is a heavy-duty white polyethylene that blocks water vapor from rising infiltrating the home via the soil and foundations.  A crawl space encapsulated by the thick vapor barrier combined with a crawl space drainage system is the best way to improve air quality in your home and overall energy improvements.

Did you know that over fifty percent of the indoor air that you breathe in your home comes from the crawl space? Keeping your crawl space dry is always beneficial. Moisture under homes is a big issue that often can go ignored by the homeowner until the problem causes a lot of damage. That is the reason why we recommend crawl space encapsulation to potential customers with humidity or standing water issues in their crawlspace.

Absolutely, if you can fit it into your budget, crawl space encapsulation will pay for itself over the years by avoiding water damage and mold remediation costs that would be very expensive to repair.  Add to that, there are from 20-40% in energy savings by encapsulating your home's crawl space.  As if it has to be said...  there's no amount of money that can equal the benefits of having good health from breathing in mold-free air.  Crawl Space Encapsulation is becoming more and more popular as people begin to realize that it is indeed worth the extra cost.  You end up with a stronger foundation and an overall healthier home.
