WHAT IS A CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION?

In our crawl space encapsulations all crawl space vents, foundation lines and penetration points are sealed. Next a heavy-duty vapor barrier is installed covering 100% of the crawl space floor and wrapped up the foundation walls. Then waterproof wall insulation is installed along the interior foundation wall. Lastly, bonding tape is used to seal everything together. A dehumidifier is also installed to circulate and keep the crawl space air clean and humid free. This is used to prevent moisture from building up in the crawl space.

Insul-Barrier Wall Insulation

When you insulate the foundation walls, insulating the floor joists is unnecessary, so you do not need to worry about doing both. Fiberglass or cellulose insulation between floor joists often becomes damaged by pests or built-up moisture over time. Replacing it is expensive, which is why we offer insul-barrier wall insulation. It is a long-term crawl space insulation solution. It is entirely waterproof, so it can be easily dried, unlike fiberglass if it ever gets wet from a flood or a leak.

Crawl space moisture can make a home an unhealthy, smelly environment that can be structurally unsound if left alone. A crawl space encapsulation creates an insulated foundation and seals a home from moisture and outside air, helping to regulate temperatures indoors more efficiently. Encapsulating your crawl space will extend the life of a home and protect it from damage from excess humidity. 

We seal your entire crawl space to stop the intrusion of outside air and to prevent pests from taking up residence underneath your home. We can even build you a new crawl space door to ensure your crawl space is completely enclosed!
