Crawl space encapsulation involves sealing off your crawl space with a durable vapor barrier to control moisture and protect your home. This process covers the floor, walls, and piers with thick polyethylene plastic, effectively creating a barrier against moisture infiltration. By preventing excess moisture from entering your crawl space, encapsulation safeguards your home from a range of problems including leaks, water damage, and dry rot.
Encapsulation not only helps maintain your home’s structural integrity but also enhances indoor air quality. By addressing moisture issues at their source, encapsulation ensures a healthier living environment and reduces the risk of mold and mildew growth. It is an effective way to manage humidity, improve energy efficiency, and extend the lifespan of your home’s components.
