CRAWL SPACE
ENCAPSULATION
Seal your crawl space completely — stopping moisture, mold, pests, and odors from ever reaching your living spaces.
What Is Encapsulation?
A Complete Seal for Your Crawl Space
Crawl space encapsulation is the process of sealing your crawl space with a heavy-duty vapor barrier on the floors and walls, effectively creating a controlled environment that blocks moisture at the source.
Unlike basic vapor barriers that only cover the floor, full encapsulation seals walls, supports, and vents — eliminating the moisture cycle that leads to mold growth, wood rot, pest infestation, and poor indoor air quality.
Up to 50% of the air in your home comes from your crawl space. Encapsulation ensures that air is clean, dry, and free of contaminants before it ever reaches your living areas.
THE BENEFITS
What Encapsulation Does for Your Home
Blocks Pests
Sealing the crawl space eliminates the damp, dark entry points that termites, cockroaches, and rodents use to access your home from below.
PREVENTS MOISTURE & MOLD
Heavy-duty vapor barriers stop ground moisture from evaporating into your crawl space, preventing the humidity that causes mold, mildew, and wood rot.
Improves Air Quality
Mold spores, allergens, and odors that originate in an unsealed crawl space circulate through your home. Encapsulation stops that at the source.
