Trusted Crawlspace Sealing Experts
Crawlspace encapsulation involves sealing and insulating the space beneath a building to prevent moisture intrusion, improve air quality, and enhance energy efficiency. Properly encapsulated crawlspaces help maintain a healthy home environment and reduce long-term structural issues.
Encapsulation prevents excess moisture from entering the crawlspace, reducing mold growth and wood rot that can compromise the foundation.
Reducing mold and dust mites in the crawlspace decreases airborne contaminants, contributing to healthier indoor air.

Failure to encapsulate a crawlspace can lead to significant issues, including increased humidity levels, mold growth, pest infestations, and structural damage. Studies show that unsealed crawlspaces can contribute to indoor humidity levels exceeding recommended standards by up to 50 percent, fostering mold and dust mite proliferation. Additionally, moisture-related problems can reduce the lifespan of the foundation and increase energy bills due to inefficient insulation.
