WHAT IS CRAWL SPACE ENCAPSULATION? 

Crawl space encapsulation is the installation of a protective polyethylene barrier throughout your crawl space. It lines the dirt floor, insulated walls, and foundation vents. The portions are connected with heavy-duty tape. When the installation of your crawl space vapor barrier is complete in your Bristol or Tri-Cities home, your crawl space has a built-in, sturdy moisture barrier and can serve as a safe, dry area for storage.

We recommend installing it on all surfaces to fully seal the space. Crawl space encapsulation works best when paired with a dehumidifier to help keep the overall moisture level in your crawl space area low. The two make great partners when it comes to combating moisture buildup.

While crawl spaces serve an important purpose in the overall support of your home, they are also susceptible to many problems. If your home has a crawl space, you may have experienced some of the following issues:

• Fungal growth
• Mold growth
• Musty smells in your home
• Excessive moisture
• Pest infestation

Encapsulation liners and vapor barriers from our crawl space experts protect your home from unwanted intruders—whether that is too much moisture or annoying insects. It will also help prevent water damage that could compromise the safety and structure of your home.
