Crawlspace Encapsulations
Why Encapsulate?
Your crawlspace has a big impact on the health, comfort, and efficiency of your home. Because nearly half of the air inside your home can come from your crawlspace, any moisture, mold, or poor insulation down there will eventually affect the rest of the house.
What is an Encapsulation?
Crawlspace encapsulation is the process of sealing your crawlspace with a thick vapor barrier, insulation, and moisture control systems (such as dehumidifiers or sump pumps if needed). This creates a clean, dry, and controlled environment beneath your home—very similar to turning your crawlspace into a mini-basement.
Benefits of an Encapsulation.
A damp, unsealed crawlspace can cause musty odors, mold growth, higher energy bills, and even damage to your home’s structure. Floor encapsulation is the process of sealing your crawlspace with a heavy-duty vapor barrier, insulation, and moisture control systems to create a clean, dry, and energy-efficient environment beneath your home.
