Crawlspace Encapsulation

Reducing Moisture and Humidity

Moisture is a major concern for many homeowners, potentially causing both structural problems and health issues. Crawl spaces are common victims to excessive moisture due to dirt floors and lack of insulation. Installing a proper vapor barrier and insulating your crawlspace can reduce the potential for mold and mildew, wood rot, and odors in your crawlspace.

  • Increases home comfort.
  • Higher quality air in area and throughout your home.
  • Difficult for invasive pests to settle.
  • Improved home energy efficiency.
  • No mold or fungi to cause structural damage.
