What is Crawlspace Encapsulation?

Crawlspace encapsulation is a process that involves sealing a home's crawlspace with a high-quality moisture barrier to prevent moisture intrusion, improve air quality, and deter pests. 

Our encapsulation process starts by covering the crawlspace floor and walls with a durable vapor barrier, sealing all vents and openings to block outside air and moisture. In some cases, a drainage system, such as a sump pump, may be installed to prevent water pooling. 

Why Crawlspace Encapsulation Matters

It’s a crucial step in maintaining the structural integrity and overall health of your home or business. Unprotected crawlspaces can become breeding grounds for mold, mildew, pests, and other harmful elements. By sealing your crawlspace with a moisture barrier, you protect your property from moisture-related damage and create an inhospitable environment for pests, while also improving indoor air quality and overall energy efficiency.
