the process

Crawlspace encapsulation is a comprehensive process designed to seal and protect a crawlspace from moisture, pests, and other environmental elements such as Radon gasses. The encapsulation involves several key steps.

debris removal

Removing debris from a crawlspace before laying a vapor barrier is crucial for several reasons. Sharp objects or debris in the crawlspace can puncture or tear the vapor barrier during or after installation. Ensuring the removal of all sharp or hazardous objects not only fortifies the integrity of the crawlspace and facilitates effective vapor barrier installation but also safeguards any technicians who may need to access the area in the future.

reducing pest habitats

Debris can provide hiding places for pests and rodents. Clearing the crawlspace reduces the likelihood of pests nesting or causing damage to the vapor barrier after installation. Preventing Mold Growth: Debris can trap moisture, creating conditions conducive to mold growth. Clearing the crawlspace reduces the risk of mold formation, contributing to a healthier indoor environment

moisture barrier installation

A durable moisture barrier,  mostly made of heavy-duty poly or specialized materials, is installed on the floor and walls of the crawlspace. This barrier acts as a shield against ground moisture and harmful gases, preventing it from infiltrating the crawlspace or your home. 

Not all crawlspaces are the same. We use a variety of different vapor barriers and thickness levels. In some cases, choosing the right product is crucial for getting the results needed.

numerous benefits

Crawlspace encapsulation offers numerous benefits, including improved indoor air quality, increased energy efficiency, and protection against structural damage caused by moisture. Professional installation ensures that the encapsulation is done effectively and tailored to the specific needs of the crawlspace.
