What Is Crawl Space Encapsulation®?
Crawl Space Encapsulation® is the proper installation of an approved quality crawl space vapor barrier to seal out ground moisture from causing health, comfort and structural problems in the home. Once the crawls space ground is covered and sealed then the foundation vents can be sealed to prevent humid outdoor air from entering the crawl space. A crawl space dehumidifier is then installed to maintain the desired humidity levels in the crawl space.
Long term results rely on the quality of the workmanship, installation methods and products used. If you are experiencing damage to your home or health, due to high levels of crawl space moisture, make sure you select a long term solution by using authentic Crawl Space Encapsulation® products.

How much does Encapsulation cost?
There are many factors that go into the cost of Crawl Space Encapsulation®. Often it depends more on the quality of the workmanship and the experience of the company hired to complete the work. The cost of the material is going to be nearly the same from one install company to another provided they all use quality products. The real cost of having your crawl space encapsulated correctly using an experienced installation company and quality products is far less than hiring a discount service company. Those discount companies can cause more problems and damage to your home with their inexperience than what it would cost to pay a professional company to install.
