What Is Crawl Space Encapsulation®?
Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing off the crawl space beneath a home to prevent moisture, water, and pests from entering. This typically includes installing a durable vapor barrier along the floor and walls of the crawl space, as well as adding a dehumidifier or sump pump system to further regulate the environment. The goal is to eliminate issues like humidity, mold, and structural damage that can negatively affect the home’s health and value.
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.
