What is Crawl Space Encapsulation?

Crawl space encapsulation is the process of sealing off the crawl space with a heavy-duty plastic barrier. This barrier will act as a moisture and humidity barrier, helping to keep excess moisture from entering the crawl space. It also helps to insulate the area, which can reduce energy costs. The plastic barriers are installed along walls, floors and ceilings to create an airtight seal. The barriers can be sealed using caulk or tape to ensure that there are no gaps or openings which would allow moisture or air infiltration into the crawl space.

Benefits of Crawl Space Encapsulation

The most obvious benefit of crawl space encapsulation is that it helps keep moisture and humidity out of your home. This can help reduce the risk of mold and mildew growth, as well as other forms of structural damage caused by water intrusion. Additionally, it will help improve your indoor air quality by reducing allergens such as dust mites and pollen which can trigger allergies or asthma attacks in some people. Finally, it will also help reduce energy costs by acting as an additional layer of insulation for your home.
