What is Crawl Space Encapsulation?

Crawl space encapsulation is a process where we seal off the crawl space underneath your home to protect it from moisture intrusions. It has the added benefit of blocking pests and air as well. Without moisture or air, we effectively prevent mold from deteriorating your foundation or affecting your air quality. Encapsulation is about more than aesthetics; it’s about safety and health.

Do You Need Crawl Space Encapsulation?

You may need to consider encapsulation if you experience any of the following:

• mold & moisture
• high energy bills
• poor indoor air quality
• pests

Sealing off your crawl space with a vapor barrier prevents moisture intrusion, reduces humidity levels, and eliminates mold growth. You’ll notice an improvement in your air quality and enhanced energy-efficiency by preventing the loss of conditioner air. Trust our expert team to assess your crawl space’s needs. We’ll recommend the right crawl space solutions to protect your home and family!

What is the Encapsulation Process?

At WCI Basement Repair, we customize our encapsulation services to suit the unique needs of your crawl space and home. Our process typically includes:

1. Assessment: We will conduct a thorough inspection to assess moisture levels, existing damage, and identify any potential entry points for water.
2. Preparation: Before we start encapsulation, we will address any issues, such as drainage problems or foundation cracks to ensure we can seal effectively.
3. Encapsulation: Our team will install a durable polyethylene vapor barrier across the crawls space floor and walls, sealing it tightly to prevent moisture intrusion.
4. Dehumidification: Depending on the condition of your crawl space, we may recommend installing a dehumidifier, improving ventilation, or repairing damaged insulation.
5. Final Inspection: After encapsulation, we will conduct a final inspection to make sure everything meets our incredibly high standards of quality and craftsmanship.

This 5-step process will provide you with a clean, dry, encapsulated crawl space. Once our crew packs up, you can begin to enjoy healthier air, a more energy-efficient home, and peace of mind!
