Crawl Space Encapsulation

Crawl space encapsulation offers several benefits, especially when it comes to maintaining your home's health and structural integrity. Here are some key reasons why it's important:

Moisture Control: Encapsulation helps to seal out moisture, preventing issues like mold and mildew growth which can lead to indoor air quality problems and structural damage over time.
Improved Air Quality: By reducing moisture and preventing the growth of mold and mildew, encapsulation helps to improve indoor air quality. This is particularly important for those with allergies or respiratory issues.
Energy Efficiency: Encapsulation can also help to improve energy efficiency by creating a thermal barrier. This means your HVAC system doesn't have to work as hard to maintain a comfortable temperature, potentially lowering your energy bills.
Pest Control: Sealing off the crawl space can deter pests like rodents and insects from entering your home, reducing the risk of infestations.
Structural Integrity: By keeping moisture levels in check, encapsulation helps to preserve the structural integrity of your home's foundation and wooden structural elements.

For homeowners, especially in humid or moist climates, crawl space encapsulation can be a proactive measure to protect both the home and its occupants from a range of potential issues. 69% of homes air comes from the crawl space.

1. Clean and Prep the Space

2. Seal All Vents and Gaps

3. Install a Vapor Barrier

Lay down a heavy-duty vapor barrier (12–20 mil poly)
Extend the barrier up foundation walls and piers
Seal all seams with tape or adhesive
Secure the barrier to walls and floor
If water penetration is prevalent trench floors to the lowest point and install drain board and sump pump then cover in 12 mil poly
