Crawl Space Encapsulation Contractors
Crawl Space Encapsulation Pros
The high humidity of North Carolina is very conducive to mold growth. A damp crawl space that is dark, with high moisture levels, makes the perfect growing conditions. Mold growing in the crawl space can also cause mold exposure and other problems in the main home living area.
A vapor barrier installation on a new construction home can boost the value for potential buyers. Encapsulating your crawl space after mold remediation can ensure that no new mold growth occurs. Crawl space encapsulation is the perfect solution to keep your crawl space clean and mold free.
What Does Crawlspace Encapsulation Involve?
Our licensed mold removal technicians are experienced in all aspects of mold testing, removal, remediation and prevention. Crawl space encapsulation is customized to your home’s particular needs, but it can include any or all of these steps:
– To prevent a mold issue in your home’s crawl space, the first step is to remove any existing mold, clean the foundation walls and floor joists, and perform any crawl space repair that is needed.
– Then, to have your crawl space encapsulated, we’ll lay down an impermeable crawl space vapor barrier to completely cover the area beneath your house.
– Finally, we will add a crawl space dehumidifier to keep the humidity levels low and prevent mold and mildew growth.

Crawl Space Encapsulation
The high levels of moisture and humidity in crawl spaces can provide ideal growing conditions for mold spores. Encapsulating and dehumidifying the space prevents mold growth and further issues.
A sealed crawl space also helps promotes better energy efficiency, indoor air quality, and a safer crawl space environment.
Why is an encapsulated crawl space recommended?
Crawl space encapsulation, or sealing, is a treatment to transform a damp, dirty, & moldy crawl space into a clean, dry space that is inhospitable to mold growth. Most homes built on a crawl space foundation suffer from moisture problems, especially those in North Carolina. Crawl space issues can cause other problems in the upstairs living space, too.
Common signs in the upstairs area are musty odors, buckled hardwood floors, condensation and rot around floor registers, cold floors, and high heating and cooling costs.
Inside the crawl space, you may notice mold or moisture damage, condensation or “sweating” on air conditioner ductwork or equipment, condensation on pipes, soggy insulation, hanging or fallen insulation, insect or pest infestations, rotted wooden framing, or water on the dirt or concrete floor. If you see any of these, call us for a quote!
How much does crawl space encapsulation cost?
The cost of a crawl space encapsulation can vary on what condition your crawl space is in and the crawl space size. If any structural issues need to be addressed, or if new insulation is needed it can also affect costs. However, we always provide a free on-site quote so we can give you an accurate estimate!
